The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District notified peninsula programs on Sunday that summer workouts and facility usage will be halted immediately due to the shift of the risk level to “high risk red”.
The risk level is based on the recent spike in COVID-19 positive testing in the state of Alaska and on the Kenai Peninsula.
Red Risk Level calls for the immediate closure of facilities. High Risk Level is reached based on average daily incidence over the past 14 days: 10 cases per 100,000 population. Widespread community transmission with many undetected cases and frequent discrete outbreaks are also determining factors.
Risk Level Descriptions
Scenario 1: Low Risk
Low Risk: Average daily incidence over the past 14 days: <5 cases per
100,000 population
Minimal community transmission
Buildings are open and learning is conducted with additional protocols
for health, safety, and continuity. Parents may select for students to
learn remotely.
Scenario 2: Medium Risk
Medium Risk: Average daily incidence over the past 14 days: 5-10 cases
per 100,000 population
Moderate community transmission with some undetected cases and
infrequent discrete outbreaks
Buildings are open with possible social (physical) distancing protocols
in place. Parents may select for students to learn remotely.
Scenario 3: High Risk
High Risk: Average daily incidence over the past 14 days: 10 cases per
100,000 population
Widespread community transmission with many undetected cases and
frequent discrete outbreaks
Buildings are closed to students and learning is 100% remote. Possible
exception for “vulnerable populations” of students individually or in
small groupings.
