Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts provided an update on the stateâs response to the COVID-19 pandemic and outlined legislative priorities during a visit to the Fremont Rotary Club on Friday.
In his last visit to the city, Ricketts said he was speaking on recovery efforts following the catastrophic 2019 floods. Soon after, he said the state found itself wrapped up in a pandemic that has led to just over 200,000 positive cases and 2,112 deaths.
âOur country hasnât been in a pandemic in over a century, so weâve all had to learn as we go with regard to how to do this,â he said.
