EOC - COVID Risk Increased to Level 3 - High, 7 New Positives, and 3 New Hospitalizations 
Good Evening, this is Ketchikan Emergency Manager Abner Hoage. Around 3:30 pm today the Ketchikan EOC announced an increase in our COVID Risk to Level 3 High.
The change in risk level is based on multiple factors. We have 7 new positive cases of COVID-19 in Ketchikan including 3 new hospitalizations and 5 new cases have been attributed to community spread. This brings our current hospitalizations to 4 and our currently active cases to 43. Our 14-day test positivity rate has increased to over 2%
Level 3 means that facilities and businesses will be asked to take additional health and safety precautions to keep our citizens safe. Visit kgbak.us/covid19 for those recommended measures. Please take care of yourself and others by following social distancing, limiting your outings to essential services, and wearing a mask in public. We flattened the curve before, and we can do it again.
Stay safe Ketchikan.
