<br />CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY Date: April 19, 2020 <br />MEDIA UPDATE Time: 8:00 AM <br /> Radio Frequency: Each Hour <br /> Update #: 1 <br />Incident: Coronavirus Update <br />This is a Civil Defense message. <br />th <br />This is a COVID-19 informational update for Sunday morning, April 19. <br />On today’s report of COVID-19, the total number of people who tested positive for <br />Hawaii Island is 61. From this 31 have been cleared as recovered and the remaining 30 <br />are quarantined at home and monitored by the Department of Health. At this date no <br />one tested positive for Hawaii Island had to be hospitalized. <br />This high increase over the past week stems mainly from the fast food establishments <br />which have been closed. This so clearly demonstrates how important it is to follow the <br />health advisories of stay at home if you are sick, physical distancing, face coverings, <br />and social gatherings. The magnitude of this cluster outbreak could have been <br />avoided. <br />For your information drive through testing will be conducted today at the Hilo Civic from <br />9 this morning till 1 in the afternoon, it is free. Know that early testing means early <br />detection and early care. <br /> Thank you, Premiere Medical Group, Bay Clinic, and the Hawaii County Task Force for <br />conducting this testing. <br />Thank you for listening and have a peaceful day. <br />This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense. <br /> <br />
