From Tuesday, July 7 to Monday of this week, the state obtained 472 cases combined, 24.85% of the state total.
Five of the new resident cases were from Fairbanks residents. The other cases were from Anchorage, Wasilla, Soldotna, Juneau, Palmer, Sterling, the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
