State has 6 new COVID cases, all on O’ahu

Hawaii State Department of Health reports  there are 6 new cases of COVID-19, all on O’ahu.   Hawaii’s case count is now 682.  There are no new cases on any other island.

The State DOH has not provided additional information, but State DOH Director Bruce Anderson has stated that we should expect additional cases of COVID-19 if people have been at large gatherings and were not  physical distancing or wearing masks, as happened over Memorial Day weekend.  There have also been people gathering at peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, and some at demonstrations against the way the State has been handling the pandemic.

Lt. Gov. Dr. Josh Green has said the state has adequate hospital and ICU bed capacity, as well as ventilator capacity, to handle a surge in cases.

*Positive cases include presumptive and 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.

Includes cases that meet isolation release criteria (Isolation should be maintained until at least 3 days (72 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).

One case is a Lanai resident whose exposure is on Maui Island and who will be remaining on Maui Island for the interim.
