Governor Ralph DLG. Torres issued the following statement on the passing of a COVID-19 Task Force member following an incident at the Marianas Resort quarantine facility in Marpi.
“It is never easy to announce the passing of a community member, but I ask our Commonwealth to pray for the family of a member of our COVID-19 Task Force during this difficult time.”
“The Department of Public Safety is currently conducting its investigation and remains in open communication with the COVID-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation (CHCC).”
“We extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, and I ask the community to respect the privacy of the family at this time.”
“This pandemic has placed a physical and mental strain on all of us, most especially on our first responders and our healthcare workers. Let us continue to support our COVID-19 Task Force and CHCC in their work by doing our part to protect each other through extra precautions. We must continue to encourage vaccinations and boosters, while also practicing the 3Ws to limit the spread of COVID-19.”
