Of the three new Covid-19 cases, two are males, ages 45 and 53, and one is female, age 53. These cases are being closely monitored by CHCC medical teams at the Kanoa Resort, the governor’s Covid-19 Task Force identified quarantine location. CHCC has already initiated contact tracing for the most immediate contacts (close family members, friends, and associates) of these new confirmed cases. CHCC continues to work with the governor’s Covid-19 Task Force to expand designated isolation areas to closely monitor the well-being of individuals with symptoms.
As of April 8, 2020, the CNMI has submitted 45 specimens for Covid-19 testing. Of these 45 specimens, 37 have been processed, resulting in 11 positive specimens, 27 negative specimens, and one indeterminate result that will be retested. CHCC awaits the results of six specimens.
