Good Evening, this is Abner Hoage with the Ketchikan EOC Unified Command. 
 
Over the past week Ketchikan has seen an alarming increase in COVID-19 cases, in all settings and age groups. Because of the widespread nature of the outbreak, the Unified Command has decided to increase Ketchikan’s Community Risk Level to 4 – Very High.
 
Many members of our community have been vaccinated and may continue following recommendations for vaccinated individuals.
 
For unvaccinated individuals and those at highest risk of negative outcomes the EOC recommends the following mitigation measures. Please consider doing the following to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and to keep your neighbors, friends, and family members safe:

• If you have even minor symptoms, stay home!
• Travel outside the home only for essential purposes.
• Refrain from gathering in large groups, especially with multiple households.
• Avoid in-person visits with people in congregate settings; instead, keep in touch by phone or video chat.
• When you do go out, wear a mask over your nose and mouth, keep a 6-foot distance from others, and wash or sanitize your hands frequently.

We need everyone’s help to flatten the curve of COVID-19 transmission in Ketchikan, and stop the spread of this dangerous virus in our community. 
 
Stay strong, Ketchikan!
