Two Additional GDOE Employees Test Positive for COVID-19
On Tuesday, September 1, 2020, the Guam Department of Education (GDOE) confirmed that two additional employees tested positive for COVID-19. The cases were identified at the GDOE headquarters in Tiyan. Both cases were identified through contact tracing.
The GDOE is working closely with DPHSS to conduct contact tracing and close contacts of the confirmed cases will be contacted directly by DPHSS. A close contact is an individual who has come in face-to-face contact with a confirmed COVID-19 individual for at least 10 minutes or more and within six feet, or who has had direct contact with infectious secretions of the confirmed COVID-19 individual (e.g. being coughed on).
Areas of the district offices have been identified for cleaning and disinfecting. GDOE employees will not have access to these areas until cleaning has been completed.
