Fox News
A coronavirus outbreak under investigation at a childcare facility in Nebraska involves 109 reported cases, an estimated 20% of which were tied to the highly transmissible U.K. variant, a spokesperson for the county health department confirmed to Fox News.
"All the variants we have found connected to the daycare have been the UK variant," a spokesperson at Douglas County Health Department told Fox News in an email. "Douglas County also has confirmed the California and Brazilian variants in smaller numbers." The variant cases were listed as either confirmed or probable. The spokesperson also confirmed that 51 cases of a total 109 reported infections occurred among attendees to the daycare, and some cases cropped up among extended family members. Three infections occurred in individuals outside of the county. However, a letter from the daycare released to families indicates some staffers were infected too, per the outlet.
