Although the State of Hawaii has flattened its COVID-19 curve–in the single digits or no new cases for more than two weeks, and only 73 active cases statewide (one on the Big Island, added Friday, according to State Department of Health), COVID-19 is still an issue around the world. In the United States, cases are growing–the U.S. added 23,553 cases since Friday, plus 1,613 deaths due to COVID-19 were confirmed. The daily addition of cases has been between 19,000 and 30,000 since the beginning of May. The number of deaths has been averaging around 1200 a day for more than a week.
So it’s important that Hawaii Island residents continue the focus on safety. The CDC has issued guidelines for safe shopping, including tips and precautions that everybody should follow. Click here for the CDC safe shopping tips.
