According to a new Respiratory Disease Activity dashboard released by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health, COVID-19 is on the rise.
The dashboard, developed by the DOH Disease Outbreak Control Division, provides an at-a-glance snapshot of current respiratory disease activity statewide, including COVID-19, influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Respiratory diseases occur year-round in Hawaiʻi.
Currently, COVID-19 is at the yellow, or medium activity level, meaning the virus is circulating at higher levels than would be expected based on historic trends. COVID-19 activity is also increasing. Flu and RSV remain at green, or low activity levels. Overall acute respiratory disease is at the medium level.
Current dashboard trends show that COVID-19 remains a health concern, and the public should take reasonable precautions to avoid getting sick.
