The CNMI\u2019s total confirmed COVID-19 cases have gone from 23 to 26.<\/p>\n

In an announcement yesterday by the Governor\u2019s COVID-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp., it said that three more persons in the CNMI have been confirmed to have COVID-19.<\/p>\n

One is a 39-year-old female who is asymptomatic, which means she does not have any symptoms. The individual is currently in isolation at Kanoa Resort in Susupe, and is being monitored by CHCC.<\/p>\n

According to the task force\u2019s statement, the individual was identified through community-based testing and confirmed positive at the Commonwealth Health Center laboratory on June 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, the patient\u2019s exposure to the virus is unknown. CHCC\u2019s contact tracing teams are looking into the possibility of exposure through community spread of COVID-19,\u201d said the statement.<\/p>\n

Esther Mu\u00f1a, CHCC chief executive officer, stated that the other two cases are \u201ctravelers.\u201d However, they are not from the same flight as the 30-year-old female who tested positive last June 2. Mu\u00f1a declined to disclose more information on the two cases.<\/p>\n

To date, the CNMI has a total of 26 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with eight active cases, 16 recoveries, and two deaths.<\/p>\n

Since this is a rapidly evolving situation, CHCC assured that it will continue to update the community.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the COVID-19 Task Force advises the community to avoid spreading misinformation by sharing only official and verified notices, press releases, and advisories from the Governor\u2019s COVID-19 Task Force and CHCC.<\/p>\n
