The City of Cordova reports additional positive COVID-19 cases today in two residents.  These cases self-presented to a local testing site with symptoms and indicated contact with a positive case identified earlier in the week.

With the identification of four cases within the last week, Cordova Medical Response Team feels it is necessary to move to a Level 3 alert to raise citizen awareness of their need to follow COVID-19 prevention protocols.  Cordova testing is available at CCMC and Ilanka Clinic at set hours.  Cordova hospital capacity remains good.  

The medical team does not want this to be cause for alarm but as an opportunity to remind everyone to remain cautious.  Cordovans are urged to do their part to keep the community safe.
