HAGÃ TÃA (The Guam Daily Post) â The Department of Public Health and Social Services confirmed Wednesday that most of the recent travel-related Covid-19-positive cases in the government quarantine facility were from the Philippines.
And a number of residents who were vaccinated against Covid-19 still tested positive for the virus that causes the disease, but symptoms were not severe.
A Public Health representative to the Governor s Tourism Reopening Task Force shared this information during their Wednesday meeting. If we let these people come in and go straight home, we would have had 23 clusters now on the island.

New research zooms in on the role of ‘good’ cholesterol for preserving cardiovascular health. FG Trade/Getty Images
According to a new study, testing how well high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol reduces inflammation may help identify people who are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease associated with atherosclerosis.
In the study, the anti-inflammatory capacity of good cholesterol was higher in people who did not experience cardiovascular events than in those who did.
Based on the findings, every 22% increase in anti-inflammatory HDL reduced the risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event during the next 10 years by 23%. The protective effect of increased HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was higher in women than men.
