Preliminary COVID-19 Test Results: 19 New Cases, Seven Hospitalized
Preliminary COVID-19 Test Results: 19 New Cases Reported
Today, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) reported a preliminary case count of 19 new cases of COVID-19 from 197 specimens analyzed on April 1, 2022. To date, there have been a total of 47,330 officially reported cases, 349 deaths, 832 cases in active isolation, and 46,149 not in active isolation.
As of Friday, April 1, 2022, Guam’s COVID-19 Community Level is LOW based on the latest available data of new COVID admissions per 100,000 population (7-day total), percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and new cases per 100,000 population (7-day total). Guam’s Community Level utilizes the same methodology as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Community Levels.
Seven Hospitalized for COVID-19
SPECIAL NOTE: Based on today's data, if we were to compare two (2) hypothetical populations of 100,000 people each, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there would be 3 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 53 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 18 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated. *Estimated population is based on DPHSS Immunization Program analysis of 2020 Census data. Updates are expected pending further Census 2020 data breakdown.
