The coronavirus has infected tens of thousands of Alaskans, and led to almost 200 deaths across the state. As we continue to document the pandemic’s impact, we’d like to hear from you.

The virus has touched all our lives. We’re working to share more stories from Alaskans who have had coronavirus, including those managing lingering symptoms, and those who have lost loved ones to the illness. What has your experience taught you? What do you want the wider community to understand?
