Alert

Message from Mayor Sivertsen; We have had a substantial increase in COVID-19 cases in KTN and it is a serious concern

This is Bob Sivertsen, City of Ketchikan Mayor.  We have had a substantial increase in COVID-19 cases on our island and it is a serious concern.  I want to urge all of our citizens to join me in following the EOC’s recommendations so we can get back to a low case count instead of climbing to a higher risk level.  Please stay home if you are sick.  If you are a close contact to a positive case, you need to quarantine for 14 days – no exceptions.  If you are healthy and are not required to quarantine, please stay home except for essential services. By wearing masks when we do have to be out in public, we can all do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19.  I am urging everyone to follow these recommendations so we can maintain and even reduce our risk level.  I am positive that we can work together to reduce our cases in Ketchikan, and I appreciate all the hard work you are doing.
