On Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. the nine counties in Loup Basin Public Health Departmentâs district were issued updated Directed Health Measures (DHMs). The new DHMs are in response to a 7-day rolling average of COVID-19 hospitalized patients occupying under 10 percent of the stateâs hospital beds. This change moved the state from the âblueâ to the âgreenâ level of restrictions. The updates to the DHMs allow for 100 percent indoor capacity (previously was 75 percent). For events of 500 or more individuals, it remains in place that a plan must be submitted to and approved by LBPHD prior to the event.
