Executive Order No. 2020-20

Today, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero signed Executive Order (EO) No. 2020-20 relative to setting conditions for entry into Guam, permitting limited school operations, and clarification on the occupancy limit.

EO 2020-20 allows for DPHSS to implement quarantine protocols regarding the conditions for entry into Guam. All persons entering Guam will be subject to quarantine, and such quarantine will be administered in accordance with applicable Public Health Guidance. Public Health Guidance may include a requirement that individuals arriving from designated “hotspots”, as defined by DPHSS, be quarantined at a government qualified facility.

Under EO 2020-20, DPHSS may permit the opening of smaller schools for the purpose of testing a pilot program designed to inform the development of procedures and guidelines for the opening of additional schools throughout the island. DPHSS will adopt guidelines for the pilot program, which will include input from the Guam State Surgeon Cell of the Guam National Guard and the Governor’s Physicians Advisory Group. Outside of this pilot program, public and private schools on Guam serving prekindergarten through 12th grade students will remain closed for educational purposes through the end of the public health emergency.

The EO also clarifies the occupancy limit for businesses and activities permitted to operate under Pandemic Condition of Readiness (PCOR) 2. Any place of business, place of worship, or public accommodation as permitted under applicable Public Health Guidance may resume operations provided it does so at no more than 50% capacity or up to 10 people, whichever is greater.
