The state of Alaska reported on Monday the deaths of 50 Alaskans from COVID-19, bringing the total of resident deaths reported by the state to 764.<\/p>\n

Thirty nonresidents have died from the illness, according to state data. <\/a><\/p>\n

The state discovered deaths — 50 residents and three noneresidents — through a process of certificate review, the City and Borough of Juneau said in a news releasing announcing 23 new COVID-19 cases reported for Juneau. Five of the newly reported deaths occurred in August, according to the state, 30 in September and 16 in October.<\/p>\n

According to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, 140 people died from COVID-19 in September, and 126 in October.<\/p>\n

The city began vaccinating children ages 5-11 Monday, which caused the overall vaccine rate number to drop significantly. Last week Juneau reported over 80% of its eligible population was fully vaccinated. On Monday, with children between the ages of 5 and 12 now included in that tally, that number dropped to 73.5%.<\/p>\n
