COVID-19 surge in Ketchikan prompts school closures, stricter recommendations

Print article A recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Ketchikan has prompted health officials there to recommend tighter pandemic protocols in an attempt to prevent further spread of the virus. While coronavirus transmission and case rates appear to be declining significantly in most of Alaska, some regions including Southeast are continuing to see flare-ups. “Over the past week Ketchikan has seen an alarming increase in COVID-19 cases, in all settings and age groups,” said an update posted Tuesday by the borough’s Emergency Operations Center. As a result, Ketchikan on Tuesday moved into the region’s highest COVID-19 alert level for the first time since the pandemic began. That means that unvaccinated residents specifically are being asked to pause non-essential travel outside the home, avoid gathering in large groups and discontinue visits with people living in congregate settings like nursing homes, according to Ketchikan emergency officials.
