And on Thursday, 14 of those samples came back positive for COVID-19. 256 of those samples were from drive-through testing in Agana Heights.

The Joint Information Center reports that over 500 specimens were collected at the community testing site in Yona, to be tested on Friday.

Additionally, a staffer from the Department of Corrections tested positive for COVID-19, with Public Health initiating a contact investigation to stop the spread in prison. That case will be included in the tally of positive cases on Friday.
