Two Detainees, Two Officers Test Positive at Hagåtña Detention Facility
The Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) completed COVID-19 testing at the Department of Corrections (DOC) Hagåtña Detention Facility today. A total of 143 prisoners and 15 staff were tested.
Results yielded four confirmed cases of COVID-19, two detainees and two officers. One detainee, with approval from the Attorney General’s Office, has been transferred to the Government of Guam isolation facility. This was also the recommendation of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staff and the DPHSS contact tracing team. The second detainee was transferred to DOC’s Mangilao facility for isolation.
The two officers who tested positive for COVID-19 remain in home isolation.
Strategic contingency operations plans and preventive measures were implemented at the start of the pandemic in the event of an outbreak. DOC continues to work with CDC and DPHSS to mitigate further spread of the virus at both facilities.
