US cases and deaths increase–Hawaii Island has one new case

The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard for Sunday morning, June 14, at 7:33 a.m.:

Worldwide cases:   7,835,340   Worldwide deaths:  431,225

U.S. cases: 2,083,082     U.S. deaths: 115,578

According to the Dashboard, the United States has added 22,077 cases in the last 24 hours, and deaths attributed to COVID-19 have increased by 542.  The case count is consistent with the two-week average, and the death count is below the average.

On Saturday, the State Department of Health announced an increase of 17 cases, all on O’ahu.  On Thursday, June 4, the state’s case count stood at 655, and there had been fewer than 5 cases per day for a month–and on several days, no new cases.  Starting on Friday, June 5, cases began increasing, and now, 9 days later, the state’s case count has increased by 68, to 723.  Most of the cases have been on O’ahu.  One family has 12 cases out of 14 members living in one household, and State DOH says many of the cases are related to known cases.

Although Saturday’s DOH report showed Hawaii Island with no active cases and 81 cumulative, the Sunday morning Hawaii County Civil Defense message says there is now one new active case on the island, related to a previous travel-related case.  That case should be included in the noon report today.
