GOVERNOR PETE RICKETTS AND WIFE TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

LINCOLN- Gov. Pete Ricketts and his wife, Susanne Shore, have both tested positive for COVID-19.

“Both of us are experiencing very minor symptoms,” the governor said in a statement released to the news media earlier this week. “We will be following CDC guidelines and will be isolating.”

The governor’s alert came a day after Ricketts toured and held a news conference in Omaha at the newly merged State Operations Center of the Nebraska Department of Transportation.

His earlier announced schedule had him traveling out of state the rest of the week.

This is the first time the governor has announced he has tested positive for COVID. He isolated himself in February 2021 after saying he had been in close contact with someone else who tested positive.
