<br />CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY Date: December 1, 2020 <br />MEDIA UPDATE Time: 12:00 PM <br />Radio Frequency: Every Hour <br /> Update #: 2 <br />Incident: Coronavirus Update <br />This is a Civil Defense message. <br />st <br />This is a COVID-19 informational update for Tuesday, December 1. <br />On today’s update of COVID-19, the number of new active cases, on Hawaii Island, reported <br />and monitored by the Department of Health is six (6). Of this, two are travel related. At this <br />date, for Hawaii Island one (1) is hospitalized and reported to be in good condition and doing <br />well. A total forty-nine (49) deaths have been reported on Hawaii Island. There have been no <br />fatalities reported in the last two weeks. Thank you. <br />As case counts continue to increase across the Nation, something to be very proud of is that <br />Hawaii Island remains one of the safest places in the United States. A big reason for this is the <br />people of Hawaii following the policies of distancing, gatherings, and face <br />coverings. Department of Health data shows that Hawaii leads the state with 90% of its citizens <br />following the face covering policy for two consecutive months and getting better. Let’s aim for <br />100% and really protect family, loved ones, and community. The Department of Health shows <br />that Hawaii Island is also ahead of the other counties in the testing of citizens. Remember, the <br />purpose of testing is to identify cases as early as possible and in this way you are helping stop <br />the spread of the virus. Thank you Hawaii and let’s continue to go forward and get better to <br />keep family, friends, and community safe. Together, we can do this. <br />Thank you for listening and have a safe day. <br />This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
