Guam Covid19 Cases: 5

Two more patients have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, increasing the total number of cases on Guam to five.

Four of the five cases are related to travel to the Philippines.

A total of 46 tests were performed from March 12-17, the government's Joint Information Center confirmed at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

This means more than 10% of patients who were tested on Guam for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, have been confirmed to be infected with the pneumonia-like disease.

The new test results were made available late Tuesday afternoon. The preliminary investigation indicates one of the recently confirmed cases has a familial connection to two of the prior confirmed cases announced on Sunday. The confirmed cases announced Sunday had a history of travel to the Philippines.

The second unrelated case confirmed Tuesday also had a history of recent travel to the Philippines.

All five patients are currently in isolation. The government of Guam has designated the 60-bed Skilled Nursing Unit in Barrigada Heights as an isolation facility.
