The 213th COVID-19 related fatality occurred at the U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Guam on October 8, 2021. The patient was a 50-year-old male, vaccinated, with underlying health conditions. He tested positive on October 8.

“Jeff, Josh, and I express our sincerest condolences to the families of the individuals who have succumbed to this virus,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “We continue to urge everyone to be diligent in protecting one another in every way so fewer people will have to experience such tragic losses like these.”

DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE. Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. Seek emergency medical care immediately or call 911 if you have trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion, inability to wake or stay awake, or bluish lips or face.
