CNMI updates quarantine and entry protocols
The safety and health of the residents of the CNMI remain the top priority of the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation (CHCC). With approximately 99% of the CNMI’s eligible population fully vaccinated and approximately 50% of those fully vaccinated having received a booster shot, given the epidemiological data and the state of the health system in the CNMI, quarantine and entry protocols will be updated based on the recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on isolation for persons confirmed positive with COVID-19 and are asymptomatic. In addition, COVID-19 testing pre-registration will no longer be required for anyone wishing to get tested at the community-based testing (CBT) site but is encouraged to minimize registration wait time.
