Some in the state are not in agreement that the restrictions should be relaxed so soon. Bob Rauner, the president of Partnership for Healthy Lincoln and a local physician, warned that easing restrictions now could set the state back.
“It’s way too early to back off on things like extracurricular activities and house parties, I mean, all that stuff. Otherwise, we’ll be right back to the near disaster we already had,” Rauner told KETV.
Despite the governor’s move to alleviate some restrictions, local health departments such as those in Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., can still keep strict restrictions in place.
