St. Paul is under a two-week hunker down order that requires people to stay at home as much as possible. The island has recorded 71 cases since an essential worker tested positive in late May — its largest surge since the start of the pandemic.
Phil Zavadil, the city manager of the remote Pribilof community of about 370 people, said this is the largest increase in cases since the start of the pandemic. He said the island has recorded 71 cases since an essential worker tested positive in late May. Most are residents.
Zavadil says more than 90% of the community is vaccinated against the virus, and no one has recorded severe symptoms or been medevaced off island.
