Alaska’s daily tally of new COVID-19 cases pushed back over 100 on Friday while state officials announced passengers on the Alaska Marine Highway System were probably infectious with COVID-19 while traveling this week.
Officials at the state’s transportation department announced that five passengers traveling together on the M/V Matanuska tested positive for COVID-19 and were “likely infectious while on the vessel,” according to a statement from the department.
The passengers boarded the Matanuska in Kake on Monday, went through Sitka that day and got to Juneau by 11 p.m. that evening, the transportation department said.
The boat’s crew will get tested before leaving from Bellingham, Washington, where it arrived Friday morning.
