Quarantine for all travelers

Effective Tuesday, March 31 at midnight, all incoming passengers, regardless of place of origin or transit, are subject to a 14-day quarantine at a government-designated facility upon entry to Guam.

The quarantine will be applied unless the traveler possesses a health care recognized and certified document that attests he or she isn't infected with COVID-19 within the last 72 hours. As this is an evolving process, the guidelines are subject to revision.
