City officials on Monday unveiled a dial that shows the perceived risk of COVID-19 in Lincoln and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 Risk Dial provides a summary of current conditions in the Lincoln-Lancaster County community. Each color incorporates federal and national guidance published by top public health experts and is coupled with specific guidance.<\/p>\n

The dial includes recommendations for when you are at home and outside your home, as well as specific guidance for those who are considered at risk or vulnberable. The dial provides guidance only, and\u00a0 does not replace federal, state, or local directed health measures. At-risk and vulnerable populations should take stringent precautions, city officials said.<\/p>\n

Gaylor Baird introduced the dial at her afternoon press conference, after voicing her continued displeasure about the fact the directed health measure for Lancaster County was not granted an extension by state officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dial will help guide us forward in the coming months,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it will provide the public with a data-driven approach that goes beyond the cold calculus of whether or not there is a ventilator or ICU bed waiting for you if you get sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaylor Baird said Lincoln did not meeting \u201ckey criteria\u201d from a number of local and federal health organizations, including the White House and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when she requested the extension.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding and fully acknowledging this, Director Lopez and I sought to extend the timeline for our previous directed health measure further into May,\u201d she said. \u201cAn extension the state flatly rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Restaurants and hair salons were among the business allowed to reopen Monday, despite concerns from many that it is too soon to do so.<\/p>\n

Despite being able to reopen, Gaylor Baird said many houses of worship and businesses have decided not to.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur community is listening to our local message of caution and focusing not on what they can do, but what they should do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Over the last 10 days, COVID-19 cases have more than doubled in Lancaster County. The positivity rate has risen to just under 10%, Interim Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Pat Lopez said.<\/p>\n

Fourty cases were announced Monday, with 208 of the total 647 cases linked to the outbreak at Smithfield Foods in Crete.<\/p>\n

\u201cRestrictions have eased but the threat from this virus has not,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n
