A 73-year-old man died in Anchorage Saturday after he tested positive for COVID-19, officials said. New cases were confirmed in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, Eagle River, Ketchikan and North Pole.

In effect Saturday at 5 p.m., Alaskans are ordered to shelter at home and close all non-essential businesses. As of 8 a.m. Saturday, the state is also banning all non-essential travel within Alaska, to slow the spread of the virus between communities.

BREAKING: This marks Alaska's first death in the state tied to COVID-19. The patient tested positive earlier this week and died Friday at Alaska Native Medical Center, which attributed the death to “complications after contracting novel coronavirus.”
