In the Bering Strait region, we will continue to provide our 24/7 medevac service in partnership with Norton Sound Health Corporation. We encourage you to keep yourself and your families safe and to follow CDC guidelines to stop the spread of this deadly virus. Follow your community leaders’ guidance, rules and restrictions for your health and that of your neighbor.
