There's been no reaction provided from the governor yet on the pushback to Friday's executive order that bans the non-vaccinated from working or patronizing various private establishments and events.

Protesters over the weekend complained that the mandate infringes on their freedom of choice.  And two groups who've been closely associated with Adelup's COVID-19 prevention effort: the Physicians Advisory Group and the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association are also pushing back.

And late today, the Guam Chamber of Commerce issued a statement, urging the governor to rescind her EO. They say certain business operations may be compromised if employees choose not to comply and cannot work.

They may also potentially be forced to let them go.
