What is Test Nebraska?
Gov. Pete Ricketts launched the Test Nebraska initiative in April. The initiative is a partnership between the state government and private companies to increase access to COVID-19 testing services. The goal is to increase the rate of COVID-19 testing to help stem the spread of the virus.

Symptoms of COVID-19
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches

New Site Location
Columbus Community Hospital is moving its TestNebraska COVID-19 testing site to 4147 48th Avenue (the Husker Helicopter site location directly north of Columbus Community Hospital) for the winter months beginning October 5. The change in location is primarily for the protection of staff members working in inclement winter weather. All other features of the TestNebraska collection site will remain the same.
