Governor Lou Leon Guerrero says the island is now seeing a downward trend in COVID cases. Furthermore, the Governor also reported that although under the CDC metrics for the community level, Guam is currently ranked high.
Guam is also nearing the 2-year mark of Governor Leon Guerrero’s Executive Order 2020-05, which was the start of Guam’s first major shutdown. EO 2020-05 prohibited all public gatherings or congregations for the purposes of Public entertainment, recreation, food and beverage service, and other similar activities.
In contrast to 2 years ago, most of Guam’s mandates on social distancing, public gatherings, and the like have ended. Most, if not all of Guam’s “non-essential” businesses are now open.
The Governor also reports that mandatory mask-wearing could possibly be the last restriction that they lift, and is something that she and her team are looking at closely.
