A 59-year-old man became Guam’s 137th COVID-19 fatality on Monday – the island’s first death from the coronavirus respiratory disease in nearly two months. The man tested positive after arriving at Guam Regional Medical City hours before his death, according to the island’s Joint Information Center. The U.S. territory’s previous COVID-19 death happened on March 13 – a 60-year-old woman who’d been hospitalized with the virus since Jan. 18 – the government said at the time.

CDC raises Guam s risk level to 3

A Level 3 means: • If you must travel to Guam, get fully vaccinated before travel. • All travelers should wear a mask, stay 6 feet from others, avoid crowds, and wash their hands. “The latest designation from the CDC is a reminder that we must stay vigilant,” said Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero in a statement to the community. “While we have achieved our Path to Half goal, it was prudent that we keep our strict quarantine protocols in place to continue to protect our community against this deadly virus and its variants,” she added. “Wearing our masks, washing our hands, watching our distance, and getting vaccinated are still our best safeguards. We applaud our community for doing their part, but all of us need to remember that this pandemic is far from over,” the governor said.
