Nome gets third COVID-19 case; four new cases reported statewide
Rural Alaska gained two more positive cases of COVID-19, according to Saturday’s announcement by Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. One case was reported for Nome and one was reported for the Northwest Arctic Borough.
With two new cases in Wasilla, that’s four more new cases reported on Saturday, bringing the state total to 408 cases.
The new cases were posted at noon Saturday on the Alaska Coronavirus Response Hub and reflect data reported from midnight until 11:59 p.m. on Friday.
This is the third case for Nome. Both of the new Nome cases are still under investigation and do not appear to be connected. It also is the second case for the Northwest Arctic Borough; the two borough cases have residences in different villages.
Another nonresident case in Alaska was identified Friday in the Valdez-Cordova Census Area in a seafood industry worker. This case was reported by the Valdez Unified Command by press release and on Facebook. The patient was asymptomatic and identified through employer testing put into place to protect workers and the community.
According to DHSS, the case investigation found that the individual had remained on the Peter Pan Seafoods campus since arriving in Valdez; several individuals identified as close contacts of the patient have been moved into quarantine. Risk to the community is considered to be low. This is the first case in Valdez; it brings the nonresident case count to 13. Nonresident cases are reported separately, and the cases are counted for the state and city where the patients live.
Of the new Alaska cases, two are male and two are female. One each is aged 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70-79 years.
