Three COVID-19-Related Fatalities Reported

The Joint Information Center (JIC) was notified of three (3) COVID-19-related fatalities:

The 233rd COVID-19-related fatality occurred at the Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) on October 24, 2021. The patient was an 89-year-old female, vaccinated, with underlying health conditions. She tested positive on October 24.
The 234th COVID-19-related fatality was pronounced dead on arrival at GRMC on October 27, 2021. The patient was a 67-year-old male, unvaccinated, with underlying health conditions. He tested positive on October 27.
The 235th COVID-19-related fatality was pronounced dead on arrival at the U.S. Naval Hospital Guam on October 27, 2021. The patient was a three-month-old male. He tested positive on October 27.

"Josh, Jeff, and I pray for the families and their healing while they go through this undoubtedly alarming shock of loss," said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. "Check in on loved ones now more than ever and watch them for emergency warning signs and symptoms if you know someone who is sick or has COVID-19.”

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.
