Two more Nebraska Department of Correctional Services staff members have tested positive for the coronavirus, Director Scott Frakes announced Friday.
Both are employed at the State Penitentiary and are self-isolating at home.
To date, seven Corrections employees have contracted COVID-19, but no inmates have tested positive.
Anyone who may have had close contact with the two employees will be directed to self-quarantine until they are cleared by a medical provider.
