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.<\/p>\n
The individual was identified by travel screening and was confirmed positive through testing on arrival on July 4, 2021.<\/p>\n
The individual has been moved to the designated isolation area for close monitoring. The Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.\u2019s Communicable Disease Investigation\/Inspection team has initiated contact tracing for contacts with the highest risk of exposure.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
