“Wearing your mask, washing your hands, and watching your distance remain our greatest safeguards for our community,” the Governor said. “Reopening our island is dependent on our ability to hold ourselves accountable. If you’re sick, stay home.” The Governor, a registered nurse, said if one has been exposed to a positive case, the person must self-quarantine and get tested.
Guam Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio said, “The virus can be beaten, and we know how. While we have seen more positive cases in our community in recent weeks, data tells us most of these individuals were not immunized. With more of our population eligible for the vaccine, more people can receive the protection it provides. For those 12 years of age and over, please get the free COVID-19 vaccine and help our island in our effort to Liberate Guam from this pandemic.”
The Governor’s goal is to achieve 80 percent herd immunity by July 21, when at least 109,081 of the vaccine-eligible individuals are fully vaccinated. As of Sunday, 72,815 (around 53 percent) were reported fully vaccinated.
