“Earlier this evening, we reached a sobering point we hoped we would never achieve. We lost our 50th soul to Covid-19. These people are more than numbers — they’re fathers, mothers, children, siblings, members of our community. They still had memories to make, love to share, and lives to live,” Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero said. “I know many of us are done with this pandemic, but this virus isn’t done with us. With each moment of silence for a life gone too soon, we must also strengthen our commitment to protecting each other and our island. To her family and friends, Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I send our condolences and sympathies.”
