Nebraska on Friday became the sixth U.S. state to report at least one case of COVID-19 caused by the Omicron virus variant, with officials suspecting the variant was brought to a household from Nigeria.

Some of the patients in the United States who contracted the variant were fully vaccinated. Just one of the six cases identified in Nebraska had gotten a vaccine, the Nebraska Public Health Solutions District said in a statement.
