, Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican, declared a hospital staffing emergency Thursday and said he would issue an executive order waiving licensing requirements to streamline credential authorizations for retired or inactive health care workers.
Several Nebraska hospitals have paused elective surgeries to preserve hospital capacity, according to“Our best tool against the virus is getting vaccinated. Vaccines work. We’ve got lot of data from here in Nebraska,” Ricketts said. “They’re very effective at making sure you don’t get sick and keeping you out of the hospital and preventing those very severe reactions, including death.”
“Our hospitals are overrun, and we will see significant death moving forward,” he said during a news conference. “More people are in the hospital fighting Covid than ever before.”
