LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts unveiled a program called TestNebraska on Tuesday that aims to dramatically increase coronavirus testing in the state as part of a push to get Nebraskans back to work.

The effort mirrors testing and tracking programs already underway in Utah and announced earlier Tuesday in Iowa. A consortium of private companies developed the programs.

Ricketts said the initiative seeks to “crush the curve” and will be key in being able to lift restrictions imposed to slow the spread of the potentially deadly virus.
