Welcome to Dillingham, 2/25/2021 Credit Brian Venua/KDLG There have been a lot of changes to COVID-19 health and safety recommendations in recent weeks. Alaska’s emergency declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic expired on February 14. The CDC has also changed its quarantine guidelines for people who’ve been vaccinated. All this has sowed some confusion about how Dillingham City ordinances compare to federal and state restrictions. Emergency Operations Commander Richard Thompson said under Dillingham’s current ordinance, people who have been fully vaccinated still need to quarantine for 10 days and self-monitor for symptoms for the next four days after travel. “The guideline that the CDC has issued is directed toward people who have known exposures to a person who was COVID positive,” Thompson said. “If these people have been vaccinated, they are not required under the guideline to quarantine because of that known exposure. We have a travel quarantine to eliminate the potential of unknown exposures.”
