Governor Lou Leon Guerrero Tests Positive for COVID-19
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 10, 2020
Hagåtña, Guam – The following statement is from Governor Lou Leon Guerrero:
On August 5, 2020, I was informed that I had come into contact with a close relative who had tested positive for COVID-19. Both my husband and I were tested, and we received a negative test result. Even so, we were advised to practice precautionary measures for the next 14 days. In line with existing protocol, I wore a face mask, limited travel to essential functions only, and practiced social distancing.
On August 8th, I began to exhibit some symptoms. I was tested again this afternoon and received a positive result this evening. I have been in home quarantine since this weekend and will be isolated pending my recovery. I remain in good health despite exhibiting moderate symptoms of the virus.
Lieutenant Governor Tenorio and the Acting Chief of Staff both tested negative for COVID-19. Together, we are monitoring the budget talks, and I will continue to lead the fiscal and COVID response teams from home.
Lastly, I implore everyone to use my experience as a reminder of just how serious and contagious this virus is. Help our island protect our loved ones. Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing.
