NEBRASKA PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE CONFIRMED ANOTHER 977 CORONAVIRUS CASES, bringing the state’s total to 61 — LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska public health officials have confirmed another 977 coronavirus cases, bringing the state’s total to 61,285.

State officials say 559,625 people in Nebraska have gotten tested since the pandemic began, and 498,023 have tested negative. They’ve confirmed 587 virus-related deaths so far.
