Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) urges residents to use caution during Thanksgiving and other holidays to avoid spreading COVID-19 among family and friends. This year it will be best to celebrate with people you live with and use online or socially distanced options to connect with others outside your household. Southwest Nebraska is seeing many COVID-19 cases spreading from one household to another due to small gatherings with family and friends. If you do choose to visit others or travel this season, be sure to take extra precautions such as carrying hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes or spray, and extra masks.
