According to the AP, over a third of Kongiganak residents have contracted the Wuhan coronavirus and two have died from (or with) it. But it is unclear how many of those who supposedly contracted the virus had symptoms or if they were severe.
Sheila Phillip, the Kongiganak Traditional Council secretary, said, “people who are fully vaccinated can go inside the village’s two stores if they wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.”
People who have not received experimental coronavirus shots, however, “can still make phone orders and their orders are delivered to their home,” Phillip said.

A western Alaska village now requires people to be fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine before entering local stores and businesses.
Sheila Phillip, the Kongiganak, Alaska, Traditional Council secretary, stated people who are fully vaccinated can go inside the village’s two stores if they wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines, reported local media.
Store employees verify a person s vaccination status by checking a list provided by the tribe, KYUK-AM reported. People not fully vaccinated “can still make phone orders, and their orders are delivered to their home,” Phillip said.
