COVID-19 survivor asks North Slope residents to do their part December 24th, 2020 |
When Frieda Kaleak heard back from doctors that her 6-month-old infant had tested positive for COVID-19, her first reaction was fear. I was tearing up because she could have been the youngest patient here in town with COVID, Kaleak said. She said she was worried she d be separated from her still breast-feeding child if she needed to be medevaced for more advanced care. I m not sure how she had gotten it, I m not sure where. I did my part in staying home, sanitizing, washing my hands, disinfecting everything with what I had on hand at home.
