COVID cases are rising across the country as out-of-state travelers make their way to Alaska on cruise ships.
“There’s a lot of different people coming from a lot of different places,” state epidemiologist Dr. Louisa Castrodale said at a public health presentation on Wednesday. “There’s some really good measures that you should be taking, regardless of COVID, anytime you’re going on a cruise ship.”

Nationally, COVID-19 case counts rose by 22% this week.
