COVID-19 Testing Message

Good Evening, this is Ketchikan Emergency Manager Abner Hoage,

I am calling to encourage anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 to get tested.

Over the past several weeks the Ketchikan EOC has worked with local medical providers to significantly increase COVID-19 testing supplies in our community. With 880 tests available, over 15,000 additional tests on order and current State of Alaska test criteria we can now test any symptomatic person

If you experience COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell contact your regular provider or our testing hotline at 247-TEST (8378)
