The Joint Information Center was notified that Guam’s 104th COVID-19-related fatality occurred at the Guam Memorial Hospital (GMH) at approximately 2:36 p.m. The patient was a 57-year-old female with underlying conditions that were further compounded by COVID-19.

“Jeff, Lt.

If you know someone struggling, I encourage you to reach out and see what you can do to help. This virus is isolating but it doesn’t diminish the importance of human connection.”
