SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA COMMUNITIES CLOSE PUBLIC BUILDINGS BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS

LINCOLN - Two counties in southeast Nebraska have had public buildings close because of a resurgence of coronavirus.

A recent spike in cases led Thayer County to close all of its county offices in Hebron earlier this week, just a month after they reopened.

"Due to a rapid increase of COVID cases in Thayer County, the Thayer County Commissioners have decided that all Thayer County buildings will be closed to the public until further notice," a post on the county's Facebook page said Tuesday.

In Saline County, Crete closed its city hall just a couple of days after it reopened when a staff member tested positive for COVID-19. Saline County had a large COVID-19 outbreak in the spring linked to the Smithfield Foods plant in town. It has had 16 cases over the past two weeks, after previously recording more than 530.
