Guam to be taken out of CDC high-risk status by De

Guam to be taken out of CDC high-risk status by Dec. 6
By Gerry Partido - December 1, 2021

Guam and four other US territories will be removed from the US Centers for Disease Control’s list of high-risk travel areas, Guam Visitors Bureau vice president Gerry Perez reported during Wednesday morning’s Recovery Task Force meeting.

Perez quoted White House Associate Director for Puerto Rico and Territories Gretchen Sierra-Zorita as saying that Guam will be out of high-risk status beginning Dec. 6, 2021.

“This is good news. This is one of the issues that we kept bringing up … that no matter what our situation is, we keep getting labeled as a high-risk district,” Perez said.

Last August, CDC placed Guam on its “very high” travel risk level. This is the CDC’s highest risk level. CDC recommended avoiding travel to Guam or at the very least making sure travelers are fully vaccinated before traveling to Guam.

Guam’s previous rating was “high” which was given at the beginning of August after being in the “moderate” level since June.

Back in August, Guam’s CAR score, or COVID risk level, surged to 39.3 on Aug. 30 from below 2.0 last July. The number of hospitalizations on island also increased, rising to 35 as of Aug. 30.

But since that time, the number of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have dropped.

As of Tuesday, Nov. 30, Guam’s CAR score has dropped to just 0.7, Public Health reported only 20 new COVID cases, and there were only 13 hospitalized for COVID-19.

High risk of rip currents remains along east reefs

High risk of rip currents remains along east reefs and beaches
By Pacific News Center - December 1, 2021

(A high risk of rip currents is in effect for Guam. PNC file photo)

The National Weather Service (NWS) Guam Weather Forecast Office continues to monitor all activity in the region, including Tropical Storm Nyatoh, as it continues moving away from the Marianas. At 1 a.m., the tropical storm was located 13.1 degrees north latitude and 137.2 degrees east longitude, about 510 miles west of Guam. It was moving west at 7 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

While there is no direct threat from Tropical Storm Nyatoh, a surface trough extending from the system continues to bring scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. The Marianas can expect wetter conditions and cloudier skies through Wednesday night.

A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan through late tonight. Dangerous rip currents are expected for east-facing reefs of the Marianas. Large east-northeast swell will cause surf to reach heights of up to 9 feet through tonight.

Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from the shore into deeper water. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. If caught in a rip current, do not swim against the current. Swim in a direction following the shoreline, face the shore and call or wave for help. High surf will also cause localized beach erosion.

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

In consultation with the National Weather Service (NWS), DPHSS has been advised that weather conditions may improve this afternoon.

COVID-19 testing at the Northern Region Community Health Center (NRCHC) continues as scheduled today but may close early based on weather conditions.
