OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — In an email, the Douglas County Health Department announced that it will review the Omaha mask mandate on Wednesday.
This comes on the heels ofa district court judge dismissing 13 of the 15 defendants in the state's lawsuit against health director, Dr. Lindsay Huse and Douglas County challenging the mandate.
Phil Rooney, a resource specialist with the department also said: "The seven-day average total number of cases needs to get below 200. We are now at 361.1. But today we had 412 new cases.
Hospital capacity must remain below 85% for seven days. We have been there for just the past three days."
