DPHSS issued new guidance providing general requirements and restrictions for social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting, with mandates for all graduation ceremonies other than the “Grad and Go” concept.
If a graduation ceremony is to be held indoors, the total number of persons shall be limited to no more than 50 percent occupancy load with seating provided the indoor area can maintain the required physical distance.
all schools and IHEs planning to have an indoor or outdoor graduation ceremony are required to develop and submit a detailed Covid-19 mitigation plan to DPHSS at least 14 days prior to the scheduled graduation ceremony. All plans should be sent via email to dphss-deh@dphss.guam.gov. Schools that anticipate holding graduation ceremonies sooner than 14 days from today are to contact the DPHSS Division of Environmental Health immediately. Failure to comply will place schools and IHEs in noncompliance with DPHSS guidance that may result in penalties and/or fines.

All attendees must wear face masks at all times
Have a plan in place for staggered entrances and exits and other common places where people congregate in order to reduce the occurrence of bottlenecks.
School graduates must enter and exit 3 feet apart from one another in a single line when directed to their seats.
IHE graduates must enter and exit 6 feet apart from one another in a single line when directed to their seats.
High-touch areas and toilet facilities should be properly staffed to service, clean, and disinfect prior to, during, and after the event.
