State reports 25 new COVID-19 cases for Juneau for Dec. 9 & 10

The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) reports 25 new residents<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.smartsheet.com%2Fb%2Fpublish%3FEQBCT%3D1974bb51a6a34ab2831ef4d26e4b84e5&data=04%7C01%7Capril.rezendes%40alaska.gov%7Cc3b149cff0fe418d5dab08d9bc373d65%7C20030bf67ad942f7927359ea83fcfa38%7C0%7C0%7C637747767708828536%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=nV9YuPaWIc0qnzCdxB3xMumFaGKRFafQGJnIq7aYiHQ%3D&reserved=0> in the Juneau community identified with COVID-19 for December 9 and December 10. According to Juneau Public Health, there are about 80 active cases. Of those: about half the cases are known exposures, mostly from household members or small gatherings; roughly a quarter appear to be community transmission; and Public Health doesn’t have enough information about the remaining cases to denote attribution.

There is currently one person with COVID-19 hospitalized at Bartlett Regional Hospital. The Juneau School District reports one new individual from Riverbend Elementary School who tested positive for COVID-19 and was infectious while in school.

Please note: This is the last COVID-19 case count update the City and Borough of Juneau will issue for the time being. Due to the wide availability and use of antigen self-tests<https://juneau.org/newsroom-item/juneau-public-health-juneau-police-department-are-new-covid-19-self-test-distribution-sites>, there is less data integrity; neither positive or negative test results from self-tests are counted in DHSS numbers. Additionally, the same information found in these case count updates is available in:
