The chairman of the Governor’s Physicians Advisory Group said that although there is cause for concern for the new omicron COVID variant, Guam should not panic. Instead, he encouraged more people to get vaccinated or get their COVID booster shots.

“I think that it’s reasonable to be extremely hopeful that this virus variant will be susceptible in some ways to the vaccines that are out there. And the message that needs to get across is don’t panic, we’ll be okay,” Dr. Nathaniel Berg said in an interview with NewsTalk K57’s Pauly Suba.

He added: “We’ll come together as a community as we have done in the past. We’ll fight this just like we’ve done now twice.”

Berg emphasized that vaccination is still the best tool to protect against COVID-19, including the new omicron variant.

“We have people saying, oh, we don’t know if vaccination can protect. Sure, but we’ll deal with that if that happens, but we do have tools right now. And so I want the community of Guam to understand that our best fight is to get that third booster dose,” the doctor said.

He added: “The third vaccine dose or booster shot is really important because we don’t know how dangerous this virus is going to be. I want everyone to be maximally protected.”

The new omicron coronavirus variant is said to be potentially more dangerous than the one that has fueled relentless waves of infection on nearly every continent.

A World Health Organization panel named the variant “omicron” and classified it as a highly transmissible virus of concern, the same category that includes the predominant delta variant, which is still a scourge driving higher cases of sickness and death in Europe and parts of the United States.

Flood advisory in effect for Guam; practice caution in heavy rain
By Pacific News Center - November 29, 2021

(A flood advisory is in effect. PNC file photo)

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Tiyan Guam has issued an urban and small stream flood advisory for Guam until 10:30 a.m.

Heavy rainfall is occurring. Up to one-half inch of rain had already fallen. Additional rainfall of up to 1.5 inches is expected.

Some locations that will experience flooding include Dededo, Tamuning, Yigo, Mangilao, Chalan Pago-Ordot, Barrigada, Yona, Hagatna Heights, Andersen AFB, Talofofo, Mongmong-Toto-Maite, Sinajana, Inarajan, Asan, Merizo, Piti, Santa Rita and Umatac.

Residents and visitors are advised to take the following precautionary actions:

· If driving, be alert for low visibilities and slippery roads in heavy rain;

· Slow down where water is ponding on the road;

· Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Avoid walking or driving through flood waters. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away;

· Do not camp, park, or hike along streams, rivers, and creeks during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly and with little warning.

The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD) remind the community to practice caution while traveling in rainy conditions, driving below the speed limit and allowing enough braking distance between vehicles.
