The Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested 32 individuals for COVID-19 on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 with conclusive results. Eight tested positive through DPHSS and 24 tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.

The DPHSS overall count also includes an additional two cases of COVID-19 that have been clinically diagnosed.

The overall count also includes nine positive cases that were tested by the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego.

To date, a total of 119 cases tested positive and two were clinically diagnosed with 27 recoveries and four deaths.
