Alaska sees largest daily COVID-19 case increase with 27 new cases

Twenty-seven confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported Sunday by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services — the state’s highest daily increase since the pandemic began.

The sharp rise comes just over a week after the state lifted restrictions and reopened. The previous largest uptick in cases came April 6 when 22 people tested positive for the virus.

Sunday’s cases include 12 in Anchorage, four in Wasilla, three each in Eagle River and Kenai, two in Homer and one each in Anchor Point, Soldotna and one case listed as other in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, according to DHSS.

That’s a lot of cases for a State with a population of about 750K.
