Our Governor sent out an emergency message that is urging all Alaskans to follow some basic recommendations to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19.
Our Governor sent out an emergency message that is urging all Alaskans to follow some basic recommendations to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19.
“My job as governor is not to tell you how to live your life. My job is to ensure the security and safety of Alaska. I can’t do that without your help,” said Governor Dunleavy in his video address. “I’m asking you to reach deep for the next three weeks. If we can buy time for our critical workers – if we can keep our systems operational – we can avoid being forced to take further action. But if we cannot reduce the spread of this virus, we reduce our future options for how to proceed. No matter what you believe about the virus, the facts are the facts. Hospitalizations and sick healthcare workers are reaching untenable levels. We must act together now while we still have choices.”
