Six new cases of COVID-19 were reported out of 565 tests performed on Tuesday, according to the Joint Information Center.
One case reported recent travel history and was identified in quarantine.
To date, there have been a total of 7,521 officially reported cases of COVID-19 with 128 deaths,119 cases in active isolation and 7,274 not in active isolation, JIC reported.
The island's COVID Area Risk score was 1.0. The CAR Score accounts for the incidence of new cases, how well current testing identifies these cases, and the rate of
spread. The ideal long-term goal is to sustain a CAR Score of 2.5 or less, which has been shown to correlate with very low to zero COVID-related
hospitalizations and deaths.
Nine people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 on Guam, including three in intensive care and three on ventilators.
