That report in the Chilkat Valley News says the 21-year-old intern was fired as a result.
Interim borough manager Alekka Fullerton told the newspaper that the student drove from Anchorage to Haines after being tested in Anchorage. He didn’t wait for his test result, according to Fullerton, and found out he tested positive after arriving in Haines on Friday, Jan. 8.
Despite promises to isolate in Haines, he boarded the flight to Juneau on Sunday, January 10.
He was scheduled to intern for Anchorage Representative Andy Josephson. The newspaper says the intern declined to comment. Josephson told the paper that the man who was not identified won t be interning for him. “He’s not going to be interning for me,” Josephson said.
