New COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations reported in Alaska hold relatively steady over 7 days

COVID-19 hospitalizations and new cases reported to Alaska’s health department held relatively steady over the past week as the “stealth” omicron subvariant remains prevalent. Even though the state’s weekly data doesn’t reflect home test results, it may be indicative of broader pandemic trends.

• The regions with the highest per capita case rates this week were the Northwest Arctic Borough, Denali Borough, Bethel Census Area, Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Sitka, all at more than 400 cases per 100,000 people. That data represents reported cases and not at-home tests, but regional levels still provide a sense of larger case trends, officials say.

Covid... the hysteria driven tool that was used to take your Liberties and they plan on using it again if we let them. Countless lies, half-truths and facts omitted surrounding covid. Nothing else has shown me more, that we cannot trust our government. defundthemedia minimalgov

The case count is a farce. And now we can't see how many local hospitalizations there are in Juneau. There is now no way to see a surge coming. Fantastic.

And for the people in the back: this only includes *reported* testing. Let me tell you about where the at-home results go...... NOWHERE
