With Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero lifting the moratorium

With Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero lifting the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, the Consolidated Commission on Utilities is also planning to resume the disconnection of its delinquent power and water accounts.

During the CCU board meeting this week, it was revealed that the number of ratepayers with delinquent accounts has been growing because of the economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

CCU Chairman Joey Duenas stressed that if the utilities do start to disconnect again, there has to be a lot of notice and outreach to the ratepayers. https://wp.me/pbO44E-UFz

The latest PCOR-3 guidance from Public Health was

The latest PCOR-3 guidance from Public Health was signed on Wednesday just in time for bars to reopen.

Bars were scheduled to reopen at 5:30 Wednesday evening. Many feel it was a long time coming as the bar industry was hard hit by the pandemic.

Many bar owners expressed frustration with the governor's executive orders that allowed more and more businesses to open at a limited capacity but kept bars closed completely.

Rosanna Rabago, the administrator for Public Healths' Division of Environmental Health, spoke with Newstalk K57's Patti Arroyo about the new guidance.

Although the buzz around the new guidance tends to focus on bars and taverns, Rabago said that changes to public health's guidance affect other types of establishments as well. https://wp.me/pbO44E-UG5

The Legislature passed Bill 11-36 by a narrow vote

The Legislature passed Bill 11-36 by a narrow vote on Monday.

That's the bill that would require the governor to seek permission from the Legislature to extend a public health emergency.

Guam Public Health director Art San Agustin shared his thoughts on the bill Tuesday morning during an interview with Newstalk K57's Patti Arroyo.

He said he thinks the bill is unnecessary.

The main reason he gave is that the Legislature already has the power to terminate a public health emergency.

San Agustin said that contrary to the title of the bill --- which is called the "Restoration of Separation of Powers Act" --- a separation of powers already exists.

The governor has called the bill a blatant power play by the Republicans.

San Agustin said he hopes that the Legislature won't override the governor's veto because even though Guam's COVID numbers have been good, the public health emergency is far from over.

He said the governor is doing a good job and the current system is working.

San Agustin contrasted the bill with the help the federal government has provided local jurisdictions during the pandemic. https://wp.me/pbO44E-UEI

The much-dreaded COVID-19 variants that are more c

The much-dreaded COVID-19 variants that are more contagious than the original strain are still not on Guam.

This was the assurance given by Dr. Felix Cabrera, Public Health's medical director, during an interview with NewsTalk K57's Patti Arroyo.

The Centers for Disease Control has a list of multiple COVID-19 variants, including one detected in the UK which, according to CDC, has a large number of mutations and spreads more easily and quickly than the others. The strain has been detected in the U.S. and Canada.

In South Africa, there's another variant originally detected in early October, which CDC says shares some mutations with the variant detected in the UK.

In Brazil, a variant was identified in four travelers from Brazil, who were tested during routine screening at Tokyo’s Haneda airport

Cabrera says that for now, they have zero evidence of the new COVID strains on island. However, Cabrera said Public Health still hasn't gotten back the results of the samples it sent to the U.S. CDC with regard to the COVID-19 variance. https://wp.me/pbO44E-UEZ

With COVID-19 vaccines for February running out to

With COVID-19 vaccines for February running out to the point that the UOG clinic this Saturday had to be postponed, many residents still needing their second dose are becoming worried.

But Dr. Felix Cabrera, Public Health's chief medical officer, has assured that it’s okay to have a delay in getting the COVID-19 second dose, whether Pfizer or Moderna.

“I want to be sure that everyone is clear that it's fine to delay. The CDC is very clear that it's perfectly acceptable to go up to about 42 days before taking your second dose,” Cabrera said during an interview with NewsTalk K57's Patti Arroyo. https://wp.me/pbO44E-UDD
