LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska state officials and business groups are asking companies what can be done to help them recover financially after the coronavirus pandemic subsides.

The survey released Wednesday asks businesses and nonprofits whether they plan to cut staff, what their top concerns are and whether they will seek federal assistance, among other questions.

Gov. Pete Ricketts says the survey is an opportunity for Nebraska businesses to have their voices heard and to share what’s going on with them as state officials plan for a recovery.

Health officials said Tuesday evening that Nebraska has 901 confirmed coronavirus cases and 20 have died.
