3 additional Port Authority staffers test positive

Three more Port Authority of Guam employees have tested positive for COVID-19. This includes two identified through the Port’s Contact Tracing Team as being close contacts of a previous case. 14 Port employees have been identified as close contacts of those two cases.

They are scheduled to be tested at the Department of Public Health and Social Services on Tuesday. Port General Manager Rory J. Respicio said that the third positive case involves an employee who was exposed by someone outside of work and they were identified by the DPHSS Contact Tracing Team.

The outside exposure case does not have any additional close contacts because that employee got sick 11 days ago and secured from work. This brings the Port’s total COVID-19 positives to 18.
