Alaskans are encouraged to continue to follow health and hygiene protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including:
stay six feet apart from non-household members;
wash hands frequently;
stay home if you are sick, and get tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms;
wear a face covering in public places when near others;
and be mindful and respectful to those Alaskans that are most vulnerable to this virus, including Alaska’s senior population and those with existing health conditions.
