BBAHC conducted a second round of testing in the Chignik region Wednesday, and a security contractor conducted vulnerability assessments in the Bristol Bay Borough and Dillingham. 

The state is continuing to emphasize testing as a major part of its strategy to manage COVID-19 ahead of the fishing season.

Since the start of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has slowed down athletics — on the field and off. Dillingham athletes and coaches still found a way to finish out the year with a virtual hoo-rah, and the coaches are looking to next year. 

Close contacts of the resident were tested by the Abbot ID Now rapid test machine. Those results are being sent to the state lab for confirmation.

The case is not associated with the seafood industry, and the person was tested in Anchorage, not their home community in the Chignik area, according to the state.
