The Hawaii Department of Health reports 129 new COVID-19 cases in the State of Hawaii today.
9 cases were reported on the Big Island, 83 cases were reported on Oahu, 21 cases on Maui, two cases on Kauai, and 14 residents diagnosed outside of Hawaii.
There have been 24,482 cases of COVID-19 identified in Hawaii. Of those cases, 7% have required hospitalization, and 22,825 (93%) were residents.
**Using cases reported in the past 14 days provides a rough approximation of the number of cases currently meeting criteria for isolation. This proxy number for “active cases” resolves classification issues for cases unable to be reached or who are out of jurisdiction, for whom precise release from isolation date may not be possible to determine. It is also not influenced by lags in data entry. (This total does not include Hawaii residents diagnosed outside of Hawaii)
†One case is a Lanai resident whose exposure is on Maui Island and who will be remaining on Maui Island for the interim.
‡Includes Hawaii residents hospitalized out of state.
§Includes cases that meet isolation release criteria (Isolation should be maintained until at least 24 hours after resolution of fever and myalgia without the use of antipyretics OR at least 10 days have passed since symptom onset, whichever is longer). (The cases that have died and one case that has left the jurisdiction have been removed from these counts). Positive cases include confirmed cases, and Hawaii residents and non-residents; data are preliminary and subject to change. Note that CDC provides case counts according to states of residence.
