This increase of three new cases for the Island of Hawaii are isolated and <br />being monitored by the Department of Health. At this date for Hawaii Island, no one is <br />hospitalized. <br />The Island of Oahu has seen a large increase in the number of positive cases in the past two <br />weeks. Much of this increase has been identified as related to large group gatherings and not <br />wearing face masks. This huge increase caused City and County of Honolulu to establish <br />policies of closures to all parks and limiting all indoor and outdoor gatherings, and the closure of <br />some businesses. <br />The Island of Hawaii remains in a good place and policy changes affecting this island have not <br />been required. We need your help in taking special care when socializing and gathering. <br />Everyone must do their part by following the preventive measures of face coverings, <br />cleanliness, keeping yourself healthy, of staying at home when sick, and distancing. Thank you <br />for taking the effort to keep our neighbors, friends, family and community safe. <br />As a reminder, do know the wearing of face masks is mandatory on the Island of Hawaii. <br />Thank you for listening, have a safe Sunday. <br /> <br />
