“With each passing, we are reminded that nothing gold can stay. While his parting leaves an island in grief, his memory will live in the hearts of those who knew him. Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I express our deepest condolences and sympathies to his family and friends,” said Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero.
New cases
Twenty-seven new cases of Covid-19 were identified out of 747 tests performed on Monday, December 21, 2020. Five cases were identified through contact tracing. One case reported recent travel history and were identified in quarantine.
To date, there have been a total of 7,238 officially reported cases of Covid-19 with 121 deaths, 449 cases in active isolation and 6,668 not in active isolation.
Guam’s CAR Score is now 1.6.
The Covid Area Risk or CAR Score accounts for the incidence of new cases, how well current testing identifies these cases, and the rate of spread. The ideal long-term goal is to sustain a CAR Score of 2.5 or less, which has been shown to correlate with very low to zero Covid-related hospitalizations and deaths.
