BREAKING NEWS: 1 more added to NMI’s COVID-19 total

Posted on Jul 05 2021

One additional individual has been confirmed positive for COVID-19 from passenger arrival testing. This brings the total COVID-19 count for the CNMI to 184 individuals since March 28, 2020.

The individual was identified by travel screening and was confirmed positive through testing on arrival on July 4, 2021.

The individual has been moved to the designated isolation area for close monitoring. The Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.’s Communicable Disease Investigation/Inspection team has initiated contact tracing for contacts with the highest risk of exposure.

Based on what we know about vaccines for other diseases and early data from clinical trials, experts believe that getting a COVID-19 vaccine also helps keep you and your loved ones from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19.

Consider registering for vaccinations at www.vaccinatecnmi.com, or by calling the CHCC call center at 682-SHOT (7468), or registering in person at any vaccination site.
