Adelup made the announcement late last night: Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero has tested positive for the coronavirus. But she's not the only member of the first family to test positive.

The governor first got word that a close relative tested positive for COVID last Thursday, although she and first gentleman Jeff Cook tested negative. She began exhibiting symptoms on Saturday and that evening another test returned positive.

Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio spoke on the issue this morning "The Link."

"We're continuing to pray for the governor's recovery and the recovery of all of our residents who are currently fighting the infection," he said.

Last night on social media the governor's son, Bank of Guam President and CEO Joaquin Cook also announced that he was among the three employees at their Hagatna headquarters who tested positive for COVID. The Bank of Guam first informed the public about the positive cases last Friday. Cook said he was sharing his story to encourage others to remain vigilant in their daily activities to keep the virus at bay. He also encouraged others to share their story to remind others to treat the pandemic seriously

"It is on each of us to take personal responsibility for our own actions, remaining diligent and safe in the process," he wrote. "Each one of us must do our best by simply wearing a mask, washing our hands, and keeping our distance. Even if protecting yourself is not enough, think about everyone else around you - your children, spouse, parents, brothers and sisters, friends, and those you work with."

Joaquin Cook as well as the governor are currently in isolation. Contact tracing in the meantime is underway at Adelup.

"They will be taking a look at all of the contacts of the governor she did have a few public meetings," the lieutenant governor said. "She swore in some board members on Friday. So all of that will be comprehensibly addressed by Public Health following all the strict protocols."

The lieutenant governor, along with acting chief of staff Jon Jr. Calvo, have been tested and their results were negative. The Governor in the meantime remains in good health despite exhibiting moderate symptoms.

"The governor is still able to exercise her authority, she has Zoom she has the phone we would only have a situation that occurred in case she has to be absent and then, of course, I would naturally take the reins," Tenorio said. "But we are a team and things are pretty much other than the challenge she has right now with her personal health that's not going to impact our posture and our readiness to continue to lead our island."
