COVID-19 pandemic in Nebraska
The first case of COVID-19 in the state happened Friday, March 6. That case was a thirty-six-year-old woman that had just returned to the United States after having traveled to England. The first two COVID-19 deaths were reported within three weeks of the first COVID-19 case in Nebraska. The first was a man in his fifties from Douglas County. The man had begun quarantining at his residence the day before. Just before 6pm that same Friday, a female in her sixties was the second death from the COVID-19 virus in the state. The woman was from Hall County. Just under three weeks following the first reported COVID case in Nebraska, the state had almost seven dozen cases by Friday, March 27.
