LINCOLN- Gov. Pete Ricketts said Thursday during a live town hall on NET that state and local health officials are hammering out conditions that might allow a loosening of some restrictions on religious services and commercial interactions that require close contact.

Many of the directed health measures that prohibited certain business activity, such as dining in at restaurants or getting a haircut, have expiration dates at the end of April and in early May. Revised directed health measures will be coming out for May, he said

The state is working with public health officials on a locally based approach to easing restrictions. “We know the end of the month is coming up,” he said. “We want to check this all out with public health people. Be patient here for a few more days and you’ll have some information on it.”
