DATA CURRENT AS OF 4/24/2023 - Maniilaq will no longer be regularly reporting COVID-19 case counts. We have learned a lot as a region throughout the past three years and appreciate the work you all have done to keep your communities safe. COVID-19 is still with us, and Maniilaq will continue to monitor the situation throughout the United States and Alaska. If cases rise, we can begin to report cases again similarly to how we have done in the past. Vaccination remains the safest strategy for avoiding hospitalizations, long-term health outcomes, and death.
