LINCOLN - Bryan Health reported its lowest number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in two months. As of Monday, there were 13 COVID-19 patients at Bryan's two hospital campuses in Lincoln, the lowest number since April 29. Last Monday, Bryan had 30 coronavirus patients in the hospital. John Woodrich, CEO of Bryan Medical Center, called it a "good trend to be seeing."

The hospital also had only seven patients on ventilators, which is the lowest number in several weeks.

The big question in everyone's mind is what is going to happen over the next few weeks, as hundreds of people have been protesting in the city over recent days, some of them not wearing masks.

Health officials and others fear that could lead to a spike in COVID-19 cases. In recognition that the protests may have exposed people to COVID-19, TestNebraska on Friday announced that in 90 of the state's 93 counties, anyone of any age can get tested without having to have symptoms or be part of a priority group.
