Joint Information Center ? JIC Release No. 7

September 21, 2019, 5:20 p.m. (ChST)

Additional Confirmed Cases of Dengue; Community-Wide Efforts Continue

From close of business Friday through Saturday morning, the Guam Department of Public
Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested and confirmed six additional cases of dengue
infection. Five of the six are locally acquired cases, meaning these individuals had no recent
travel history. One of the six cases is suspected to be an imported case, meaning it probably was
acquired through travel outside of Guam.

To date, there are now seven confirmed cases of locally acquired dengue infection and three
confirmed cases of imported dengue infection. With the enhanced surveillance and continued
timely reporting by Guam healthcare providers, DPHSS expects additional cases of dengue to be
detected. DPHSS also continues mosquito surveillance to include the capture of adult mosquitoes
in high-risk areas.
