Families USA submitted a letter to the Office of Governor Pete Ricketts on gaps in the state of Nebraska’s COVID-19 data collection efforts. Specifically, the letter urges the state to continue reporting race and ethnicity data on a weekly basis, prioritize testing in communities most impacted by COVID-19, including rural communities, and to make testing more accessible for people with disabilities and for people whose primary language is not English.
