The landing was handled in similar fashion to previous arrivals, with the plane remaining in an isolated area of Eppley tarmac, with no involvement with the main passenger terminal.<\/p>\n<p>In a message to the campus on Tuesday, Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., chancellor of UNMC and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Jim Linder, M.D., CEO of Nebraska Medicine, said this will be the last time spouses from the Diamond Princess cruise ship will be reunited at UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine. Although one person at the medical center still has a spouse elsewhere, the spouse has tested negative for the disease, and those who are negative won&#8217;t be transported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The addition of this person to the group being monitored on campus brings the total here to 15,&#8221; the message read. &#8220;Currently, 13 have tested positive for COVID-19 while two remain negative. We continue to update NebraskaMed.com with updates and answers to common questions about COVID-19 and our role in the response.&#8221;<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"TQEbdi wWolSuN X \"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American is transferred to UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine;
