State reports 13 more Covid deaths, Fairbanks leads case count

The state reported 13 more deaths from the past couple of months and a surge in new cases over the weekend, with Fairbanks leading the case count and lagging in vaccinations.
“We are definitely seeing an increase in cases in Fairbanks and the Interior,” said Dr. Mark Simon, an emergency physician at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. “And we are seeing it both in the numbers that we get from the state and our local public health officials, and then we’re seeing it at the hospital.”
The Fairbanks North Star Borough saw 102 cases on Saturday alone and is among the highest numbers since the beginning of December. Based on the weekly case average, test positivity rate and hospitalizations, the borough is now in a high-risk zone, according to the borough website. The three-day average for hospitalized Covid patients doubled since last week and is now at 10 people.
