The state on Tuesday reported 13 deaths of Alaskans with COVID-19 and 583 new cases, according to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.

Five of the deaths were recent, the state health department said, and they involved a Sterling man in his 70s; a Wasilla man in his 60s; a Dillingham woman in her 80s; a woman from a smaller community in the Bethel area in her 80s; and a Soldotna man in his 90s.

Prior deaths involved a Bethel man in his 30s, a woman from a smaller community in the Bethel area in her 60s and a man from a smaller community in the Bethel area in his 70s; a man from the Kusilvak Census Area in his 70s; a man from a smaller community in the Yukon-Koyukuk area in his 90s; a Soldotna man in his 80s; and a man and woman from Anchorage, both in their 60s.

In the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region, where a total of 11 residents have died with the virus, 100 new cases were reported Monday and 71 on Tuesday.

With new daily case counts topping 500, and deaths and hospitalizations rising, health officials express increasing concerns about the sustainability of Alaska’s already stressed health care system.

Of the 578 new cases reported Tuesday among Alaska residents, 328 were in Anchorage, plus seven in Chugiak, 38 in Eagle River and two in Girdwood; one in Anchor Point, one in Fritz Creek, five in Homer, 16 in Kenai, one in Nikiski, two in Seward, 20 in Soldotna and two in Sterling; 13 in Kodiak; five in Cordova; 13 in Fairbanks and six in North Pole; six in Delta Junction; nine in Palmer and 28 in Wasilla; 14 in Nome; 12 in Utqiagvik; three in Kotzebue; one in Douglas and six in Juneau; one in Sitka; and 15 in Bethel.

Among communities smaller than 1,000 people that are not named to protect privacy, there were two in the northern Kenai Peninsula Borough; two in the Kodiak Island Borough; one in the Fairbanks North Star Borough; four in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area; one in the Nome Census Area; one in the Northwest Arctic Borough; one in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area; two in the Aleutians East Borough; one in the Aleutians West Census Area; seven in the Bethel Census Area; and one in the Kusilvak Census Area.

Five cases were reported Tuesday among nonresidents: one in Eagle River, one in the Northwest Arctic Borough and three in unidentified regions of the state.
