Alaska Department of Health & Social Services Weekly Case Update
April 11-17, 2021
Brief Status Report
- The statewide transmission rate and daily case rates were nearly unchanged from last week. Case rates decreased in Anchorage, the Southern Southeast, Southwest, and Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta regions. Case rates increased in all other regions.
- Alaska is currently the twelfth most vaccinated state per capita. 48% of the State/IHS vaccine allocation so far has been administered.
- To schedule your vaccine appointment visit covidvax.alaska.gov or call 907-646-3322. The call line is staffed Monday-Friday from 9AM-6:30PM and 9AM-4:30PM on weekends. The call line can also be used to answer general questions about vaccine safety and to request appointments to receive a specific type of vaccine. Alaskans receiving health services through a Tribal Health Organization or the Department of Defense should contact those organizations directly to determine their eligibility.
- During the week of April 11 through April 17, 2021 1,129 cases were reported in Alaskans last week. This is a 1% increase from the week before for a total of 63,561.
- Cumulative hospitalizations increased to 1,426 with 14 reported as occurring this week. Hospitalization reports often lag and only 1,389 hospitalizations were reported at this time last week, so there are 37 hospitalizations newly reported this week including ones that began during previous weeks.
- 19 deaths were reported this week (329 total), though all of these deaths occurred prior to April 17. It is common to take more than a week for a death to be reported, and deaths that occurred during Apr 11-17 may be reported in the future after death certificates are reviewed.
- 62 new nonresident cases were identified this week for a total of 2,695 cases.
