Coffee At KYUK, Nov. 3, 2020: How Nunapitchuk Stopped Community Spread Of COVID-19

Nunaptichuk City Council Member Thomas Parks is our guest this morning on Coffee at KYUK. He shares how Nunapitchuk had a COVID-19 surge and managed to stop it. Parks began by telling a story about his family. It centers on the fact that people without symptoms can spread the disease even when they think they are helping. The story begins when his brother was stuck with no money, spending the night at the Anchorage airport while trying to get home to Nunapitchuk. The interview was recorded last week. 

Anna Rose MacArthur served as KYUK's News Director from 2015-2022.
