NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-On Thursday, the West Central District Health Department (WCDHD) raised their community risk dial to Orange or Elevated.
As area high school sports teams start to practice, we were curious as to how this would impact these practices.
According to North Platte High School Activities Director Jordan Cudney, with the switch to Orange, the high school teams are still allowed to practice.
If we were to stay in orange, however, football would not be allowed to compete and all the other sports may be played with no spectators.
Earlier this week, the NSAA gave the go-ahead for Fall sports to begin across the state.
The increased threat level is due to a rise in confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Lincoln County.
