OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — The Omaha mask mandate has been extended by at least one more week.
According to a press release, Douglas County has not met the necessary metrics. The seven-day total number of cases per 100,000 population has not dropped below 200. As of Wednesday, we are at 344,6 cases per 100,000 people with 299 new cases.
Also, hospital capacity must be at or below 85% for seven consecutive days. This number has been reached only for the past four days.
If these metrics are met before the seven days have passed, the mandate will be lifted at that time.
