Over the 14-day period from June 14 to June 27, there were eight people in Juneau who tested positive for COVID-19 (that’s down from 16 during the previous two weeks):

• 13 percent of the cases were associated with a cluster involving a small daycare. In total, 13 people tested positive and all 13 recovered.
• Public Health attributed 75 percent of cases to secondary transmission, 12.5 percent to out-of-state travel, and 12.5 of the cases remain under investigation. No cases in this 14-day period were attributed to community spread.
