The 18 people are part of 11 different families, she said.
The Joint Information Center on Monday announced the 18 cases were identified in quarantine after tests conducted from Jan. 29-31.
Carrera on Tuesday originally said it was two large families but received clarification the 18 came from 11 families.
The 18 people arrived on Guam between Jan. 19 through Jan. 26, Carrera said.
One family arrived Jan. 19, another on Jan. 20, three on Jan. 22, two on Jan. 23, two on Jan. 25 and two on Jan. 26, according to Public Health documents.
All 18 have since been moved to isolation.
Carrera said the government s quarantine policy is working and the 18 people aren t out in the community where the virus could spread.
11 families, with 18 people, test positive for COVID-19 in quarantine
Corrections & clarifications: Eleven families with a total of 18 people who were in government quarantine tested positive for COVID-19. Public Health provided other information in a previous version of this story.
Eleven families, with a total of 18 people, who were in government quarantine tested positive for COVID-19, and the Department of Public Health and Social Services is concerned that the virus spread so quickly between individuals, spokeswoman Janela Carrera said. It s hard to say if this was a rapid spread due to a new variant or because they were in close quarters in the quarantine facility. Nevertheless, it is something we are keeping an eye on, she said.

At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, everyone seemed to have the same question for Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Ian Hoffman: What’s the plan for getting the public vaccinated?
More than 10 months after the first county resident was diagnosed with COVID 19, Humboldt’s case count is skyrocketing, nearly two dozen residents have died, and the local economy remains hobbled by virus-triggered restrictions. Everyone is desperately reaching for the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.
But it hasn’t even been a month since the FDA authorized emergency use of two COVID vaccines, and on Tuesday Hoffman said it’s just not possible to lay out a concrete timeline at this early stage.
