One more person has been confirmed positive for COVID-19. This brings our CNMI total to 48 cases.<\/p>\n
The individual was identified by travel screening on arrival, according to the Facebook page of the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.<\/p>\n
The individual has been safely in quarantine and was moved to the designated isolation area for close monitoring.<\/p>\n
CHCC has already initiated contact tracing for the most additional immediate contacts (passengers on the same flight, close family members and friends) of the new confirmed case.<\/p>\n
Of the total 48 confirmed cases, 24 cases (50%) have been identified through port-of-entry screening procedures.<\/p>\n
Of the 24 confirmed cases identified through travel screening, 19 cases originated from the U.S. mainland, three from a foreign country, and two from U.S. territories.<\/p>\n
