Kodiak changed its pandemic alert status from red to yellow today as the island sees its third consecutive day with no COVID-related hospitalizations and the number of daily positive cases continues to drop.Â
The Kodiak Emergency Services Council announced the change on Thursday, the same day Gov. Mike Dunelavy extended the stateâs Public Health Disaster Emergency Declaration for another month to Feb. 14.Â
The change to yellow status means the customer capacity of Kodiak businesses increases from 25% to 50%. This includes retail services, bars, restaurants, religious gatherings, grocery stores and any business or service open to the public.Â
Medical facilities, child care services, homeless shelters, educational institutions, government agencies and critical infrastructure are exempt from this cap.Â
