The government's joint information centre said there was now evidence of community-based spread.
Ms Leon Guerrero said at least two people who had tested positive frequented the Hafa Adai Bingo Hall in Tamuning.
She said anyone who had been there between 6 and 16 of March should self-quarantine.
Yesterday, the US territory saw the Pacific's first Covid-19 related death, a 68-year-old woman.
A government official leading the coronavirus response said the woman was a relative of a person who recently returned to the territory with Covid-19.
He said the woman had "multiple co-morbidities", including end-stage renal disease, which compromised her immune system.
