“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.”
On Monday, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) reported three (3) new cases of COVID-19 out of 212 tests performed on November 21.
