About two-thirds of deaths from the coronavirus in Nebraska have involved residents of long-term care facilities, the governor said.
At least 48 of Nebraska’s deaths have involved nursing home residents, The Lincoln Journal Star reported.
The statistics, provided by Gov. Pete Ricketts during a news briefing on Friday, were evidence of the dangers that older people face from the virus, especially those dealing with other health conditions.
Nationally, more than 11,000 nursing home deaths have been linked to COVID-19.
