“Open” never meant “over” and our numbers show that. 27 new new AK cases today - highest day for #Alaska since the beginning of this pandemic in our state. No new hospitalizations deaths or recovered cases. Total resident count- 460. Total Non resident count- 21
Many of the Anchorage cases are a part of an investigation into a case in a transitional care center. 10 of Anchorage’s 11 cases today are a part of that cluster- representing both residents and staff.
8 of the 27 are from the Kenai Peninsula. Many of the cases are still under investigation but large social gatherings appear to be linking some of these cases.
This is the dance we will do until we have a vaccine - and with each uptake in cases we must respond in a change in our behavior. We are on our way back up. Time to pull back if you live in or visited the Kenai Peninsula in the last 2 weeks or attended a large gathering.

We are in a very different place than when this began with more testing, hospital capacity, more knowledge, but we are a long way from being done. If we all do a little, together we can do a lot.
