Governor to make announcement on interstate quarantine rules Friday - KTUU.com

Mike Dunleavy said he will make an announcement surrounding the 14-day self-quarantine for people coming into Alaska from out of state on Friday.

Dunleavy has attributed the low total cases of COVID-19 in the state to the mandatory quarantine but said a large part of Alaska’s economy relies on tourists coming into the state.

Thirteen positive cases were reported to the state Wednesday.

“While we did have 13 cases today, it wasn’t a significant jump in percentile,” Zink said adding that the state has around a .9% positive test rate.

Currently, under Health Mandate 010, all people arriving in Alaska — outside of critical infrastructure workers — must stay in their home or hotel for 14 days and are only allowed to leave for medical emergencies.
