Below are the documents you need to report to the state. Please return the contact form, so the DHHS team has your information if there’s ever a need to reach out to you, and your template with all the results, positives and negatives within 24 hours of testing to dhhs.epi@nebraska.gov Note: you only need to fill in the contact sheet once. Please contact Nebraska ICAP or dhhs.epi@nebraska.gov to obtain the password for the template.
Dr Fein at DHHS (Rebecca.Fein@nebraska.gov) is the reporting authority for assisted living facilities. ICAP usually gets AL data from this reporting system.
If any additional reporting is required, Dr. Fein will know and the attached forms will get you started. However, it is best to check with Dr. Fein on if it is necessary for you.
