New details are emerging about a COVID-19 outbreak associated with a regional high school sports tournament held in Ketchikan. Public health officials say at least 23 cases have been linked to April’s regional wrestling tournament.
The Bill Weiss Tournament is an annual wrestling event that invites athletes and their families from around the region. Now, public health officials say people in five of the seven communities that participated Craig, Klawock, Sitka, Wrangell and Ketchikan have tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the event, which this year was held alongside another regional tournament on April 23 and 24 at Ketchikan High School.
