LIVE: Risk Dial in ‘Low Yellow,’ new mask exception

April 20, 2021 3:35 pm

New DHM’s

  • New exception for face masks- if a fully vaccinated person is in an area that is not open to the general public, like a private office or break room, they no longer have to wear masks.
  • For activities, sports, and other gatherings, attendance is still limited to 75% capacity, but social distancing is no longer required but recommended.

Next week, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) plans to hold clinics at North Star, Northeast, Lincoln East, Lincoln High, Southeast, and Southwest high schools for Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) students.

A mass vaccination clinic was held today to vaccinate UNL students, staff, and faculty.
