ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – There are four new cases of COVID-19, the Department of Health and Social Services said Wednesday, bringing the state count up to 355.

All of the new cases are male with two aged 20 to 29, one aged 30 to 39, and one aged 50 to 59. DHSS has also reduced the cumulative number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 because one person was incorrectly categorized as hospitalized.
