“In less than a week, we mourned the passing of five individuals to Covid-19. It is with deep sadness that we must announce the passing of a 16th person to this virus. First Gentleman Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I send our deepest condolences and sympathies to her family,” said Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero. “To the people of Guam, we each play a role in fighting this deadly virus.
