DPHSS, in collaboration with the Government of Guam and the Mayors’ Council of Guam, is providing COVID-19 testing to the first 200 people who have registered with the Talofofo Mayor’s Office.
Testing is scheduled for Saturday, September 5, 2020, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Talofofo Gym. Registration for this event is now closed. All others who have not registered will be turned away.
For the safety of the community and the nurses, only four (4) people are allowed to be tested per vehicle. Testing is free and open to the first 200 people that have already pre-registered. No symptoms are needed to qualify for testing. Individuals who have registered are asked to bring an ID, if one is available.
Pre-registration will be required for the COVID-19 Drive-Through and Walk-In Testing in Umatac on Saturday, September 19, 2020. While pre-registration is currently not open, further details will be provided once available.
To receive individual COVID-19 test results, send a request to covidresults@dphss.guam.gov. Further instructions will be provided via email to patients before COVID-19 test results are sent.
Those who were unable to register for Saturday’s testing and are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, are advised to call their health care provider. If a patient does not have a regular health care provider, they can call the Northern Region Community Health Center (NRCHC) at (671) 635-7525/6 to schedule an appointment.
