“Public health officials continue to believe community spread is occurring in Valdez. Most identifiable transmissions appear to be happening between family, friends and co-workers. Small social events , such as group dinners, house parties, group playdates, bonfires with friends, and other gatherings where people let their guard down, continue to be a specific area of concern. While the Virus is likely to spread indoors, outdoor gatherings also still pose a significant risk. Riding in vehicles with those outside your household should also be considered a high risk activity.“
