 The Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested 64 individuals for
COVID-19 on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 with conclusive results. One tested positive through
DPHSS and 63 tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.
One new probable case of COVID-19 was reported earlier today to DPHSS from the Guam
Regional Medical City (GRMC).
To date, there have been ​171 ​cases confirmed through COVID-19 testing provided with ​5​ deaths,
143​ released from isolation, and ​23​ active cases. New criteria for release of cases from isolation
were implemented on May 22. For persons ​having symptoms​, at least 10 days have passed since
recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever- reducing medications and
improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) and any other symptoms
attributed to COVID-19 infection AND at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first
appeared—or, with recurrent symptoms, at least 10 days have passed since recurrent symptoms
appeared—AND at least 14 days have passed since the date of their first (or most recent) positive
COVID-19 diagnostic test. For persons ​without symptoms​, at least 14 days have passed since the
date of their first (or most recent) positive COVID-19 diagnostic test assuming they have not
subsequently developed symptoms since their positive test.
