The man died Wednesday afternoon at the Guam Memorial Hospital.
His passing followed the announcement of Guam’s 48th Covid-19-related fatality at GMH at approximately 10:53 a.m. Wednesday. The patient was a 61-year-old male with underlying health conditions that were compounded by Covid-19. He was admitted to GMH on September 15 after testing positive at a private clinic earlier that day.
“To those who loved [them], please accept our deepest condolences. Our hearts are heavy with sympathy and are with you in this most difficult time,” said Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero. “Nothing can replace the life of a loved one. We are responsible for our individual actions, but these actions affect our entire community. We must do what we can to protect each other from this virus.”
