To remember how this pandemic started in the state, Bill Kelly and Will Bauer report Monday's NET News Signature Story. BILL KELLY (NET News): We've both been talking with people who played major roles in the first days when the Coronavirus arrived in Nebraska. That was one year ago this week. The state had already hosted those who had come into contact with the virus when the US government evacuated Americans from China and Japan. They were put under the control of the infectious disease experts at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. But a year ago, the state had its first known case of a local resident contracting the virus.
