Lincoln Covid cases week by week (click to enlarge).
After a relatively quiet summer pandemic-wise, cases of Covid-19 in Lincoln have been trending upward in recent weeks.
The five cases last week were the most in one week since April 18, which tied for Lincoln’s pandemic’s weekly high with six cases. There were four cases reported for the week of November 12; three of them were in their 50s and one in his or her 20s, according to Public Health Nurse Tricia McGean. She didn’t have demographic information for the latest batch of residents who tested positive, but said that none were in a school or group living facility such as The Commons.
