Special Olympics Nebraska has canceled all practices until the end of March. In a statement sent to KETV Newswatch 7, it said: "Special Olympics Nebraska immediately began working with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Three Rivers Health Department, Douglas County Department of Health, the Governor’s office and Special Olympics International to collaborate in managing this ever-evolving situation."Cheri Albin said her family is keeping their cool amid coronavirus concerns. Albin's teenage daughter Cadie, is an Special Olympics athlete. "We're not going to stop doing our normal activities, we're not panicked people, but we talked about taking precautions," Albin said. Cadie did not attend the Fremont basketball game, where health officials confirmed the first patient with COVID-19 participated in. Albin said some of Cadie's friends did compete. "That's pretty close to home," Albin said. Cadie is part of Fit-Ability, a body-building team for people with special needs. Cadie is also a cheerleader. Albin said Cadie doesn't understand the coronavirus threat. "She doesn't understand the greater picture of why and if she is doing that what she needs to do to protect herself. That part she's just really not in touch with," Albin said. The Fit-Ability classes that Cadie loves so much have been canceled most of the month. They meet twice a week to perfect each power lift move. "She doesn't take kindly to a change in routine, we have to do extra explaining," Albin said. Albin said she feels like the community put a target on the special needs community. "They were really mean and even from the special needs community I feel like some were attacking each other because they are fearful for their kids," Albin said. Albin said she wants everyone to take a step back and understand the situation. "If Cadie gets infected she's not going to be able to tell me her symptoms," Albin said. "Everybody has somebody special in their life and nobody wants them to be affected; special needs or not." Special Olympics Iowa announced Wednesday it has canceled the Mid-Winter Tournament scheduled for March 13 -14. "The health and safety of the Special Olympics Iowa community, including our athletes, volunteers, and employees, are our top priority," president and CEO John Kliegl said.
