The first 150 or so tests came back negative.Â
Last spring, health care workers in Kodiak had swabbed somewhere around 150 noses, looking for a mysterious new virus called COVID-19, before they found any.Â
Testing efforts started in March of this year as Kodiak and the rest of the world began to grasp the magnitude of the growing COVID-19 pandemic.

It touched everything, and even though vaccines are slowly rolling out across the country, the virus will likely dominate headlines for months to come.Â
