Late in the day on July 3, YKHC confirmed a positive COVID-19 case in Bethel of an individual who was identified through rapid testing, in accordance with Health Mandate 18. The individual is not a resident of Bethel, and therefore per State reporting protocols, will not be counted in the YK Delta positive case count.
Early in the morning of July 4, YKHC tested the individual a second time using another in-house lab analyzer. This analyzer uses a higher standard of viral detection than the rapid test. The sample provided did not meet the level of detection and the result returned as negative. Per YKHC protocol, the individual was tested a third time using a test that will be processed and confirmed by the State Public Health lab and results will be known in 5-7 days.
The individual is currently self-isolating and YKHC is working with the State of Alaska Section of Epidemiology to conduct contact tracing, follow-up testing, and ensure precautions are taken to protect people the individual may have been in close contact with.
While known close contacts of the positive case are minimal and YKHC is highly confident potential risk to the community is very low, YKHC treats every COVID-19 positive test result as a true positive, because the risk of not doing so is too high. All close contacts have been identified, provided instructions for follow-up testing, and advised on precautions to take.
YKHC continues to offer COVID-19 testing, without an appointment, at the Bethel drive-thru testing site every Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m. Testing also continues by appointment at the Bethel drive-thru testing site on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, by calling 543-6949.

On July 3, YKHC was notified that an individual who resides in a YKHC service area village tested positive for COVID-19 while in Anchorage. While the individual has been out of region for over a week, per State reporting protocols, the positive case will be counted as a YK Delta case. To protect patient privacy, YKHC is not releasing the name of the service area village the individual is from.
The individual is currently self-isolating in Anchorage. Contact tracing reveals the individual was not in the YK Delta during the period of time they would have been exposed to or considered infectious for COVID-19. Therefore, follow-up testing is being managed in Anchorage and the Alaska Section of Epidemiology will work collaboratively with YKHC for local contact tracing.
YKHC would like to emphasize the importance of avoiding all non-essential travel, opting for free COVID-19 testing upon arrival at the Bethel, Aniak, and St. Mary's airports when arriving from out-of-region, wearing a mask when in public, practice regular handwashing/disinfecting, remaining physically distant from anyone who does not reside in your household, and disinfecting high-touch surfaces in your home frequently.
