People in the remote Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) region of Alaska have a high burden of respiratory illnesses, with up to ten times the rate of infant hospitalization for pneumonia compared to the general US population [4] and the highest reported rates of infant RSV hospitalization in the United States, reaching 259 per 1,000 We compared the total, ARI, and RSV hospitalization rate in YKD children <3 years in the first 5 months of 2020 to the previous ten respiratory illness seasons. One limitation of our study is the inability to distinguish what proportion of the decline in ARI hospitalizations in YKD children is due to avoidance of care versus a decrease in circulation of respiratory pathogens secondary to the health mandates. ./cache/cord-294853-8b0s5w4u.txt ./txt/cord-294853-8b0s5w4u.txt
