The Anchorage Health Department announced Friday that testing was conducted between July 17 and July 22, and more workers could test positive as 30 test results are still pending."This is a concerning situation for the people of Anchorage," said Bruce Chandler, disease control and prevention medical officer with the city health department.
The city and state health departments have started contact tracing and employees at the plant are being isolated in compliance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, officials said. The two agencies have also co-ordinated with Copper River Seafoods to prevent further spread of the virus. Copper River Seafoods closed the plant after the first case was identified and is cleaning the facility.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. But for some -- especially older adults and people with existing health problems -- it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. The confirmed cases at the Copper River Seafoods plant mark the third-largest outbreak in the Alaska industry, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The outbreak was reported a couple days after an OBI Seafoods processing plant in Seward saw about 100 confirmed cases among workers.

'For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.' 🤔
Shouldn’t have worn masks
Odd thoug, most hospitals are completly empty. Doctors and nurses are afraid to tell the truth for fear of their jobs. They were told not to speak about this fake pandemic. Go and visit the hospitals, you'll see there is nothing to see. Maybe CTV should visit them...
Gatherings are high risk regardless the purpose Indoors the risk is even higher so: 1 Have all workers being tested? 2 Have they being put in quarantine? 3 Has a proper tracing been done and people isolated as needed? 4 Does the town have bed capacity to attend the people sick?😷
