263rd COVID-19 Related Fatality Reported
The Joint Information Center was notified that Guam’s 263rd COVID-19-related fatality was
pronounced dead on arrival at the U.S. Naval Hospital Guam on November 19, 2021. The patient
was a 69-year-old female, unvaccinated. She tested positive on November 19, 2021.
“Jeff, Josh, and I pray for solace for her friends and family,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero.
“As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, let’s remain persistent with our efforts to prevent
the spread of COVID-19 at upcoming gatherings. Continue to wear your mask around others that
are not within your immediate household, keep a safe and healthy distance between yourself and
others, and do not attend a social gathering if you are sick. These are all important measures to
emerge out of this holiday season, stronger.”
