Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts says he and First Lady Susanne Shore are in a 14-day quarantine after coming into close contact on Sunday with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19.
They are not showing any symptoms.
“On Sunday night, Governor Ricketts and the First Lady joined three people for dinner outside," said Taylor Gage, Director of Strategic Communications.
"One of the people they joined tested positive for coronavirus on Monday. Both the Governor and First Lady will quarantine for 14 days," Gage said.
"Neither the Governor or First Lady is showing any symptoms, and they will get tested at the appropriate time. The Governor will host his Tuesday and Thursday coronavirus briefings virtually,” Gage added.
