Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Governor Dunleavy is opting against extending the state's COVID-19 disaster declaration despite calls from lawmakers to do so for another 30 days.
Instead, the Governor conducted a news conference Sunday afternoon to outline a transition plan that Dunleavy says begins the process of moving Alaska to the path of normalcy while still effectively managing the virus.
The Governor issued a directive that calls on state government to continue following all policies that were in place under the disaster declaration that expired Sunday.
In the meantime, commissioners will advise the governor on which policies are necessary to keep in place and which items can lapse.
