OMAHA - Douglas County health officials are taking steps toward requiring people to wear masks in indoor public spaces. "We're in an unprecedented pandemic now, and we need to do everything we can to slow it down," said Chris Rodgers, president of the Douglas County Board of Health.

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said Monday that she's not interested in following Lincoln's lead. Governor Ricketts is still in the process of reviewing legal options in response to Lancaster County’s mandate.

However, Douglas County health officials view mask-wearing as a means of keeping businesses open and allowing schools to safely reopen.
