State reports 36 new COVID-19 cases for Juneau
The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) reports 36 new individuals in the Juneau community – 34 residents and two nonresidents – identified with COVID-19 for November 19. Thirty of these cases are from November 9-16 and were not previously reported by the state due to a DHSS technical issue<https://juneau.org/newsroom-item/technical-issue-contributes-to-about-30-unreported-covid-19-cases-nov-9-16>. There are currently<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=1974bb51a6a34ab2831ef4d26e4b84e5> two people with COVID-19 hospitalized at Bartlett Regional Hospital.
The Juneau School District reports one new individual at Auke Bay Elementary School who’s tested positive for COVID-19 and was infectious while in school. COVID-19 cases related to schools are posted on juneauschools.org<https://www.juneauschools.org/> (click on the green “COVID-19 Cases” block). Please note: Entire classrooms are no longer being quarantined. Instead, the availability of at-home, rapid antigen COVID-19 tests now provides unvaccinated close contacts with two options: test daily to stay in school or quarantine. See details on the district’s antigen testing protocol here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ifjvizTz2UT8syNnVe9U4EaZjNgiQ4tJffatQwgi1Pk/edit>.
