NORTH PLATTE, Neb.- In continuing our efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our area and protect the health of our community, the West Central District Health Department (WCDHD) is asking for your assistance in identifying individuals who may have attended an event called “Music, Friends and Fun” held Wednesday, July 1, 2020 at the Cody Park Pavilion. If you attended this event, please visit https://consultinglhd.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a67PjRi6skYXMrP and complete the screening questionnaire as soon as possible. If you do not have the capacity to complete the online screening questionnaire, please call 308-696-1201.

Attendees are strongly encouraged to get tested. West Central District Health Department will help attendees schedule a time and date for testing at no cost to the individual. Please contact WCDHD for this important testing. The health department will actively monitor all attendees for fourteen (14) days, providing support and assistance in symptom monitoring and information.
