LBPHD Risk Dial
The dial has increased higher into the orange this week. The district continues to have a critically high number of cases reported as community spread. Rapid test capacity is extremely limited, TestNebraska capacity is maxed at current testing sites; Burwell Family Practice has added another test date within the district (Tuesday afternoons).
Other factors that figure into the risk dial calculation include healthcare capacity, and the ability to conduct contact tracing efficiently.
Disclaimer: this risk dial is determined utilizing district-wide data and may not represent an individual county’s current status.
