After this weekend, Two Rivers will no longer be reporting case numbers on Saturdays.

This means the dashboards will also not be updated on Saturdays.
Remaining vigilant to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is more important than ever. Your hard work and efforts made in your daily lives should be applauded. Changes are extremely hard, but they are important for the future of Nebraska and our citizens. The more steps you and your family can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the safer everyone will be.
