107th COVID-19-Related Fatality Reported
The Joint Information Center was notified that Guam’s 107th COVID-19-related fatality occurred at the Guam Memorial Hospital (GMH) at approximately 12:15 a.m. The patient was a 55-year-old female with underlying conditions that were further compounded by COVID-19. She was admitted to GMH on November 8, 2020 and tested positive upon admission. 

“To her family and friends, Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I express our deepest condolences and sympathies. You remain in our thoughts and prayers,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “Scripture tells us a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Without a vaccine, the best tool we have against this virus is our commitment to doing what is necessary. Do not let your hearts and minds be burdened by the darkness.”
