“This pandemic continues to test us, and losing more loved ones to this virus reminds us that we must continue to fight back and protect ourselves and our loved ones from infection,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “Let's honor the lives and legacies of all those lost to this disease by staying our course, getting vaccinated and doing everything we can to reduce our risk of exposure. Jeff, Josh, and I send our heartfelt condolences to their families and friends.”
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.
Governor Signs Executive Order No. 2021-27
Today, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero signed Executive Order No. 2021-17, relative to extending the public health emergency for an additional thirty (30) day period. The public health emergency is now scheduled to expire on November 29, 2021.
57 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 22 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 237 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID- 19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 11 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated.
