JIC RELEASE NO. 467 - 109th COVID-19-Related Fatality Reported; Results: 50 Test Positive for COVID-19

109th COVID-19-Related Fatality Reported
The Joint Information Center was notified that Guam’s 109th COVID-19-related fatality occurred at the Guam Memorial Hospital (GMH) at approximately 11:02 a.m. The patient was a 65-year-old male with underlying conditions that were further compounded by COVID-19. He was admitted to GMH on October 22, 2020 and was a known positive case. 

"There is no pain like losing a loved one. To his family and friends, please accept our condolences and sympathies," said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. "As we lose more and more of our neighbors to COVID-19, we cannot become numb to the news. These people are more than numbers--they were friends, co-workers, siblings, parents, children. They are more than the illness they succumbed to. So it is our duty, our responsibility to keep each other safe. Our vigilance is the only vaccine we have."
