Alaska on Wednesday reported 81 new coronavirus infections and one COVID-19-related death identified over two days, according to the state Department of Health and Social Services. The health department now updates its coronavirus dashboard on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Alaskas average daily case counts have increased slightly over the last week, but the states current statewide alert level remains low.

By Wednesday, roughly 54% of the states population age 12 and older had received at least their first dose of the vaccine while 49% of residents 12 and older were considered fully vaccinated.

Also by Wednesday, there were 16 people with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 hospitalized around the state, including four who are on ventilators.

The newly reported death, identified through a review of death certificates, involved an Anchorage man older than 80. In total, 367 Alaskans and seven nonresidents with COVID-19 have died since the pandemic reached the state last spring. Alaskas death rate per capita remains among the lowest in the country, though the states size, health care system and other factors complicate national comparisons.

Of the 75 cases recorded Tuesday and Wednesday among Alaskans, 25 were from Anchorage; 14 from Hooper Bay; nine from Wasilla; four from Unalaska; three from Eagle River; two from the Bethel Census Area; two from Big Lake; two from Chugiak; two from the Copper River Census Area; two from Fairbanks; two from Homer; two from North Pole; and one each from Bethel, Juneau, Kenai, Seward, Sitka and Soldotna.

Six cases were identified among nonresidents, including one each in Wasilla, Fairbanks, Kenai, Ketchikan, Unalaska and a location under investigation.

While Illinois reports the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases since the early days of the pandemic, Missouri is one of a few states seeing increases in new cases

ST. LOUIS COVID-19 cases in the St. Louis area have remained consistent over the last few weeks, even as Missouri and Illinois are heading in different directions regarding the pandemic.

From June 17 to June 23, there were 988 new cases reported in the greater St. Louis area, marking the fourth consecutive week with fewer than 1,000 new cases. It's the first time since June of 2020 that the region reported fewer than 1,000 cases four weeks in a row.

There were 20 COVID-19 deaths reported in the last week in the St. Louis area, the lowest since April of 2020.

Those consistently low numbers are also reflected in the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force numbers, where COVID-19 hospitalizations have remained around 100 for the last few weeks.

The task force data for June 24, 2021 is as follows:

Missouri COVID-19 cases

While Illinois reports the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases since the early days of the pandemic, Missouri is one of a few states seeing increases in new cases.

From June 17 to June 23, Missouri reported 3,323 new COVID-19 cases, the highest single-week total since early May, but with significantly fewer PCR tests. As a result, the 7-day positivity reported by the state on June 23 was 6.8%, the highest since early February. While cases have increased, deaths have remained low, although health officials have often said deaths would be a lagging indicator in the pandemic, which spikes lagging about two weeks behind case increases.

Missouri vaccines

According to the state's data, the largest number of new cases per capita have come in the southwest portion of the state. Some of those counties have fewer than 20% of residents with at least one dose of the vaccine, and the increase in cases is starting to weigh on the healthcare system.

According to health department data, the hospital systems in the region have more than 300 COVID-19 patients for the first time since Jan. 28.

Locally, the vaccination rates in most counties are trailing the statewide averages. Missouri provides county-by-county data for both first and second dose rates. Only St. Louis County and St. Charles County are ahead of the statewide rates of 44.3% with at least one dose and 38.3% fully vaccinated. None of the counties in our area are at the national average of 53.7% with at least one dose and 45.6% fully vaccinated.

The state ranks 39th in the country in percent of the population with at least one dose with 44.3% and percent of the population fully vaccinated with 38.3%, according to CDC data.

Illinois COVID-19 cases

In Illinois, cases, deaths and positivity rates are all at their lowest points since the earliest days of the pandemic.

From June 17 to 23, the state reported 1,554 cases and 69 deaths the lowest single-week totals since March of 2020 and a seven-day positivity rate of 0.6% is the lowest on record.

Illinois vaccines

The state ranks 15th in the country in percent of the population with at least one dose with 58.6%. The state ranks 26th in the percentage of the population fully vaccinated with 44.7%, according to CDC data.

In Illinois, the health department provides county-by-county data for the percentage of the population that is fully vaccinated. Only Madison County is about the statewide rate of 44.7% fully vaccinated.

The travel guidelines require all New Yorkers, as well as those visiting from out-of-state or another country, to take personal responsibility for compliance in the best interest of public health and safety.

Asymptomatictravelers entering New York from another country, U.S. state, or territoryare no longer requiredto test or quarantine as of April 10, 2021.Quarantine, consistent with the CDC recommendations,isstill recommendedfor alltravelerswho are not fully vaccinated or have not recovered from laboratory confirmed COVID-19 during the previous 3 months.Symptomatic travelers must immediately self-isolate and contact the local health department or their healthcare providers to determine if they should seek COVID-19 testing.

All travelers must complete theTraveler Health Formunless the traveler had left New York for less than 24 hours or is coming to New York from a contiguous state.Contiguous states to New York are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont.

Irrespective of quarantine, all travelers must:

Fully vaccinatedis defined as being 2 or more weeks after the final dose (e.g., first for Janssen/Johnson & Johnson, second for Pfizer and Moderna) of the vaccine approved by the FDA or authorized by the FDA for emergency use. Vaccines that are not authorized by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use or approved by the FDA do not satisfy this definition.

Recently recoveredis defined as 1) recovered from laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by meeting the criteria for discontinuation of isolation, 2) within the 3-month period between date of arrival in New York and either the initial onset of symptoms related to the laboratory confirmed COVID-19 infection or, if asymptomatic during the illness, the date of the laboratory confirmed test, and 3) asymptomatic after travel or new exposure.

Domestic travel is defined as travel lasting 24 hours or longer to states or US territories other than contiguous states (i.e., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont).Travelers must fill out theNYS Department of Health traveler health form

There are generallyno quarantine, work furlough, or testing requirementsfor asymptomatic domestic travelers.

All unvaccinated domestic travelerswho havenot recoveredfrom COVID-19in the past 3 monthsare recommendedto get tested 3-5 days after arrival in New York, consider non-mandated self-quarantine (7 days if tested on day 3-5, otherwise 10 days), and avoid contact with people at higher risk for severe disease for 14 days, regardless of test result.

CDC and NYS recommenddelayinginternational travel until the traveler is fully vaccinated.

International travelersmust complyCDC requirements, which currently include proof of negative test or recent COVID recovery in order to board airplanes headed to the US.Travelers must complete the NYS Department of Health traveler health form.

Currently CDC does not require quarantine, work furlough, or testing requirementsfor asymptomatic international travelers.

New York follows that recommendation with the following exceptions:

Travelers fromCanada, crossing atland borderssubject to the agreement between the governments of the United States and Canada, are permitted to travel in accordance with said federal agreement and need not quarantine solely due to such federally authorized travel. Travelers flying between the US and Canada must follow the CDC guidance for international travel.

The table below compares the daily averages for the last seven days to the daily averages for the last 28 days.

Defining Confirmed and Probable Cases and Deaths

COVID-19 cases and deaths are categorized as probable or confirmed.

Learn more about these case definitions.

Cases are defined differently based on the type of test used to detect COVID-19.

Molecular tests, such as PCR tests, are the most reliable way to test for COVID-19. Someone who tests positive for the virus with a molecular test is classified as a confirmed case. These tests look for genetic material from the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Unless otherwise specified, data on test counts, test rates and percent positivity only reflects molecular testing.

Antigen tests are faster than molecular tests but can be less accurate. These tests look for proteins on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Someone who tests positive with an antigen test is classified as a probable case.

Antibody tests check the blood for signs that you have had the virus in the past. An antibody test may not be accurate for someone with active or recent infection. Someone who tests positive with only an antibody test and not a diagnostic test is not classified as a probable or confirmed case.

The charts below show the daily number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths over the past three months citywide and for each borough. This data includes both confirmed and probable cases and deaths, based on molecular and antigen testing, respectively. Due to delays in reporting, which can take as long as a week, recent data are incomplete.

These data show the percent of people given a molecular test who tested positive, by ZIP code, for the most recent seven days of available data. The borough comparison charts include data by ZIP code from the past three months.

The data also show the rate of people given a molecular test during the most recent seven days. A neighborhood is considered to have adequate testing when at least 260 residents per 100,000 have been tested in the past week. This metric of adequate testing may change depending on future testing data.

This map and table show hospitalization rates and death rates over 28 days. To accommodate standard reporting delays for hospitalization and death data, these are published at a 14-day lag.

This chart show the number of people tested by molecular tests and antigen tests.

These charts show percent positivity and test rate for molecular tests.

These charts show people who visited the emergency department with clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19 illness (including flu-like illnesses and pneumonia) during the past three months, and those who were then admitted to the hospital. While some of these people did not have a positive molecular or antigen test, these charts can be an early warning sign for community transmission of COVID-19.

About the Data: All of the data on these pages were collected by the NYC Health Department. Data will be updated daily but are preliminary and subject to change.

Reporting Lag Time: Our data are published with a three-day lag, meaning that the most recent data in today's update are from three days before.

This lag is due to the standard delays (up to several days) in reporting to the Health Department a new test, case, hospitalization or death. Given the delay, our counts of what has happened in the most recent few days are artificially small. We delay publishing these data until more reports have come in and the data are more complete.

Health Inequities in Data: Differences in health outcomes among racial and ethnic groups are due to long-term structural racism, not biological or personal traits.

Structural racism centuries of racist policies and discriminatory practices across institutions, including government agencies, and society prevents communities of color from accessing vital resources (such as health care, housing and food) and opportunities (such as employment and education), and negatively affects overall health and well-being. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on New Yorkers of color highlights how these inequities negatively influence health outcomes.

Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization is recommending allowing people to mix COVID-19 vaccine doses. Here, people walk past a vaccination clinic this week in Toronto. Zou Zheng/Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images hide caption

Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization is recommending allowing people to mix COVID-19 vaccine doses. Here, people walk past a vaccination clinic this week in Toronto.

Canada's public health agency says people can mix COVID-19 vaccines if they want to, citing cases where local supply shortages or health concerns might otherwise prevent some from completing their two-dose vaccination regimen.

The new recommendations come after safety concerns were raised linking the AstraZeneca vaccine to the potential for dangerous blood clots a condition the health agency calls "rare but serious." That vaccine is not authorized for use in the U.S., but the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has faced similar scrutiny, is. Both of them are viral vector vaccines.

Several Canadian provinces have recently moved to mix vaccines, the CBC reported, because of supply issues, when the vaccine used for a first dose isn't available for the second.

Public confidence is also an issue: Health officials cite a study from late April that found more than 90% of participants said they were comfortable with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, but only 52% of participants said they were comfortable with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Both Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA vaccines.

Based on the available evidence, "we are recommending that someone who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca ... vaccine may receive an mRNA vaccine for their second dose," said Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh, who chairs Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization.

The agency cites the results of a study in Germany and clinical trials in the U.K. and Spain as supporting the safety of vaccine interchangeability. It says it expects further data from ongoing studies in Canada and elsewhere in the coming months and will update its recommendations if warranted.

Nationwide, the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines have increasingly become the primary vaccines administered in Canada, according to the latest government data.

The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines "can be considered interchangeable" between the first and second doses, Canada's advisory committee on immunization says in its recommendations that were updated this week.

Canadian officials are hoping the new guidance will help bridge a wide gap in their vaccination program. As of late May, 50.6% of Canada's population had received at least one vaccination shot but only 4.6% of the population was fully vaccinated.

"This is not a new concept," the advisory group said of the practice known as heterologous vaccination. In the past, the group added, "Different vaccine products have been used to complete a vaccine series for influenza, hepatitis A, and others to complete a vaccine series for influenza, hepatitis A, and others."

Several European countries have already been encouraging people who've received a first shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine to make either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines their second shot, including France, Spain and Germany.

In addition to potentially easing vaccine reluctance, mixing vaccines could also bring other benefits.

As NPR's Joe Palca reported last month: "Basically, all vaccines work by showing people's immune systems something that looks like an invading virus but really isn't. If the real virus ever comes along, their immune systems will recognize it and be prepared to fight it off.

"Using two different vaccines is a bit like giving the immune system two pictures of the virus, maybe one face-on and one in profile."

As other countries authorize mixing vaccines, the U.S. is not following suit in part because the Food and Drug Administration hasn't authorized the AstraZeneca vaccine. And unlike that vaccine, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine requires only a single dose.

When asked for comment about the strategy of mixing vaccines, an FDA spokesperson cited a lack of data about the interchangeability of the vaccine with other COVID-19 vaccines.

"Individuals who have received one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine should receive a second dose of the same vaccine to complete the vaccination series," the spokesperson added.

Want To Mix 2 Different COVID-19 Vaccines? Canada Is Fine With That - NPR

In March and April, when COVID-19 vaccinations were starting to keep older adults out of the hospital, more and more children between 12 and 17 years old were being admitted. Many were seriously sick: around one-third of kids in this age group who were in the hospital for COVID-19 this year were in the intensive care unit, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report shows. None died.

The risk of getting seriously ill and needing to be hospitalized from COVID-19 increases with age, but kids and teenagers can still get sick. Hospitalization rates from COVID-19 in this group were, overall, around 2.5 to 3 times higher than those from the flu over the last three flu seasons. The new CDC data underscores the importance of COVID-19 vaccination for adolescents, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing Thursday. Vaccine shots are now authorized for anyone over the age of 12.

[The findings] force us to redouble our motivation to get our adolescents and young adults vaccinated, she said.

The CDC report looked at data from a network of health centers in 14 states. It found that 204 adolescents were hospitalized for COVID-19 between January 1st and March 31st, 2021. Of that group, 64 were admitted to an intensive care unit and 10 were placed on a ventilator. Around two-thirds had underlying medical conditions, but about 30 percent did not, showing that healthy kids can still get seriously sick.

Hospitalization rates for this age group peaked during January, dropped off in February, and then started climbing back up during the beginning of March. Maryland and Michigan both had their highest ever rates in April both states saw overall surges in case numbers during that time.

A combination of factors may have contributed to that uptick, the CDC report said. Kids started returning to school and in-person extracurricular activities during that time, and COVID-19 outbreaks can occur in those environments. In addition, variant forms of the virus that can spread more easily were circulating. Some areas also started to ease up on COVID-19 restrictions as adults got vaccinated against the disease, which could have let the virus spread among people, including adolescents, who werent yet eligible for the shots.

Almost 6.4 million kids between 12 and 17 in the US have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, as of June 4th.
