Health officials have confirmed 10 new cases of coronavirus in Nebraska to give the state a total of 49 cases.

Douglas County health officials reported eight new cases Saturday. Five of the cases are related to travel, and three of the cases had contact with a previous positive case in the area.

Health officials in Lancaster and Buffalo counties also announced the second cases in both those counties. Both of those new cases are family members of the first case in each county.

"We expected to see this case since he reported similar symptoms and had been in prolonged, close contact with the first case," said Glenda Fraber, Assistant Director of the Two Rivers Public Health Department in Holdrege.

For most people, the coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.

Health officials said a 48-year-old Lancaster County man who tested positive for COVID-19 visited Charleston's Restaurant and Freezing Moo in Omaha on March 15 before he was diagnosed with the illness. Anyone who was at those businesses that afternoon should monitor themselves for symptoms, such as a fever and cough, for 14 days.
