Seattle-Based Medical Risk Management Firm is Ready to Meet New Demand for Testing in Alaska

Seattle, WASH. (August 7, 2020) – At a July 28 press briefing, Governor Mike Dunleavy of Alaska announced that effective August 11, all non-residents must arrive with a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken 72 hours prior to departure. Additionally, testing will no longer be made available by the state of Alaska upon arrival. Now that testing is incumbent upon travelers, organizations across the travel and critical infrastructure industries can consider hiring medical risk management firm Discovery Health MD to assist customers and workers with compliance.
