The Hawaii State Department of Health reports there are 9 new cases of COVID-19 today, the highest number in 5 weeks. One case is an out-of-state resident, and 8 cases are on O’ahu. This brings the state’s total to 673. The counting mechanism assigns a state resident to that state, even if they are not in the state when they contract COVID-19.
State Department of Health has not provided additional detail about the location nor origin of the cases. On Friday, Lt. Gov. Josh Green said he believes we are going to see an uptick in COVID-19 cases because of people gathering two weeks ago over the Memorial Day weekend, not practicing distancing, and often not wearing masks.
As of a week ago, 480 people up to age 59 have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and 172 people 60 and older. Health officials say the greatest hospitalization rate has been in people 60 and older.
Hawaii News Now reported that 3 senior-living facility employees have contracted COVID-19.
