The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says all staff members will be required to wear face masks while working due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Department director Scott Frakes says anyone who has business at any of their ten prison facilities, work skills program building in Lincoln and all office buildings and warehouses will also have to wear masks.
That includes attorneys, contractors and members of the Board of Parole. Frakes says the measures will best protect staff, inmates and the public.
