The patient was a 58-year-old male with underlying conditions that were further compounded by Covid-19. He was admitted to GMH on October 18, 2020 and tested positive upon admission.
“At the beginning of this pandemic, the models projected we would lose hundreds of lives to Covid-19. While we are thankful that that model did not become our reality, we cannot ignore the magnitude of this death. To his family and friends, Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I offer you our sincerest condolences and sympathies,” said Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero. “We are told weeping may endure for the night, many nights as we know all too well. But we are also told to be strong and courageous–do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Let us do what we must to become worthy of those we laid to rest.”
To date, on Guam, there have been a total of 6,234 officially reported cases of Covid-19 with 100 deaths, 1,796 cases in active isolation and 4,338 not in active isolation.
