The safety and health of the residents of the CNMI remain the top priorities of the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation. With approximately 60% of those fully vaccinated having received a booster shot, declining COVID-19 cases, and the current COVID-19 Community Level, entry protocols will be updated.
Community Level Low
With the new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention metric, the CNMI is currently in Community Level Low.
To date, cases are continuously detected via Community-Based Testing, CHCC testing, as well as at-home testing. As of April 4, 2022, a total of 11,158 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the CNMI, with 1 in 5 CNMI citizens estimated to have contracted the disease.
Recommendations for individual persons and households during COVID-19 Community Level Low:
