CBJ reports three new COVID-19 cases in Juneau

The City and Borough of Juneau Emergency Operations Center is reporting three new Juneau residents with COVID-19. All three cases are under investigation. Of the four new cases reported yesterday, Public Health is attributing one to community spread and another to secondary transmission. The two other cases are Juneau residents who were infected while traveling out-of-state travel and are currently still out-of-state.

Cumulatively, Juneau has had 282 residents test positive for COVID-19 since March and 98 nonresidents. There are 29 active cases in Juneau and 350 individuals have recovered. All individuals with active cases of COVID-19 are in isolation. There are currently four people with COVID-19 hospitalized at Bartlett Regional Hospital.

CBJ’s numbers – on cumulative case counts, and active and recovered cases – differ from the Alaska Health and Social Services dashboard numbers due to more timely reporting. CBJ is in regular contact with the Public Health officials in Juneau, and CBJ’s numbers are based on information received directly from them.

Statewide, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services reports 142 new people with COVID-19 – 130 are residents and 12 are nonresidents. The state also reports one new death, bringing the total number of deaths to 46. Alaska has had 7,132 cumulative resident cases of COVID-19 and a total of 949 nonresidents.
