卫生官员说，至少有100例冠状病毒病例与内布拉斯加州奥马哈的一家日托中心有关，包括一些来自英国的变异体。

根据道格拉斯县卫生部的说法，在确认了最初的几例病例后，玫瑰镇儿童保育和学前教育学院于上周关闭。

一名卫生部发言人告诉美国广播公司新闻，截至周日，已有100多例新冠肺炎病例与最初的疫情有关，检测显示，一些病例是由英国变异体引起的。

这位发言人在对美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说:“这表明需要对非药物干预保持警惕，并让儿童保育工作者接种疫苗。”。

这位发言人无法给出英国变异病例的确切数字，因为内布拉斯加州没有对每个样本进行基因组测序。

100 new coronavirus cases at day care linked to UK variant outbreak: Officials

At least 100 coronavirus cases have been linked to a day care center in Omaha, Nebraska, including some from the U.K. variant, health officials said.

The Rosewood Academy Childcare and Preschool was shut down last week following confirmation of the first few cases, according to the Douglas County Health Department.

As of Sunday, more than 100 COVID-19 cases were linked to the initial outbreak, and testing has shown that some were caused by the U.K. variant, a health department spokesman told ABC News.

"This points out the need to be vigilant about non-pharmaceutical interventions and get child care workers vaccinated," the spokesman said in a statement to ABC News.

The spokesman couldn't give an exact figure on the U.K. variant cases because Nebraska does not do the genomic sequencing on every sample.

In a statement to ABCaffiliate KETV, a spokesperson for Kelli Hansen, the owner of the day care, said staff and children were among the infected.

Mandy Evert, a mom whose 4-year-old daughter attended Rosewood, told KETV that the child tested positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of March.

Evert said her daughter showed symptoms similar to a sinus infection and had a mild fever.

"We don't know what the effects are going to be on my child years from now and that's really where my concern is," Evert said.

The school is cooperating with health officials, the health department spokesman said.

The spokesperson for the school told KETV that the school took strict safety measures to prevent coronavirus spread, and is asking all infected staff members and students to quarantine.

"Rosewood Academy Childcare and Preschool will continue to work closely and cooperate with the Douglas County Health Department to monitor this situation and encourage families and staff to get the vaccine as quickly as they are able," the spokesperson said in a statement.

Nebraska's seven-day average of new daily coronavirus cases has plateaued at around 270 in March, according to thestate's Health Department.

As of Sunday, roughly 20.8% of the state's total population of 1.48 million has been fully vaccinated, accordingto state data.
