LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has seen almost 800 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

The state health department on Sunday reported 790 cases on Sunday.

That's up 90 from the number reported Saturday.

Seventeen people have died from the illness.

The uptick came as some churchgoers attended drive-in Easter services from their cars to ensure social distancing.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports one church held services at a fairground, where attendees listened from their car radios.
