The Joint Information Center (JIC) was notified of two (2) COVID-19-related fatalities.
- The 248th COVID-19-related fatality was pronounced dead on arrival at the Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) on November 6, 2021. The patient was female, age unknown, with unknown vaccination status and unknown underlying health conditions. She tested positive on November 6, 2021.
- The 249th COVID-19-related fatality was pronounced dead on arrival at the Guam Memorial Hospital on November 6, 2021. The patient was a 56-year-old female, unvaccinated with unknown underlying health conditions. She tested positive on November 6, 2021.
“While there are truly no words to bring relief when there is such great loss, Jeff, Josh, and I offer our condolences and sympathies to those that loved them,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “Even in these hard times, do not forget the large part we have in preventing more days filled with grief – by referring to the basics and maintaining social distancing between yourself and others that are outside your household.”
A COVID-19 positive patient whose death was reported as a COVID-19-related fatality on November 5, 2021 was subsequently found not to be the result of COVID-19. The Department of Public Health and Social Service (DPHSS) Office of Epidemiology and Research has revised the COVID-19-related fatality count to 249.

SPECIAL NOTE: Based on today's data, if we were to compare two (2) hypothetical populations of 100,000 people each, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there would be 14 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 174 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID- 19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 12 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated.
*Population is based on the 2018 Statistical Yearbook.
