Commissioner: no confirmed deaths yet; three people reported missing
Summary
When asked about reports of three deaths from a regional health corporation, Commissioner Cockrell said his department had no confirmed death notifications and reiterated that three people were currently unaccounted for while investigators verify reports.
A reporter asked whether Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation's report of three deaths could be confirmed. Commissioner James Cockrell said he had no death notifications to share and that, "Until I get a death notification from my department, I cannot speak to it." He reiterated that three people remain unaccounted for and said officials would release confirmed information as it becomes available.
Cockrell said he did not want to jump ahead of departmental verification because of the risk of inaccurate information and the impact on families. Officials said they would release updates as soon as the department could verify casualty notifications and encouraged the public to avoid spreading unverified reports.
