A total forty-nine (49) deaths have been reported on Hawaii <br />Island. There have been no 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 <br />that Hawaii Island remains one of the safest places in the United States. A big reason <br />for this is the 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 <br />citizens following the face covering policy for two consecutive months and getting better. <br />Let's aim for 100% and really protect family, loved ones, and community. The <br />Department of Health shows that Hawaii Island is also ahead of the other counties in <br />the testing of citizens. Remember, the purpose of testing is to identify cases as early as <br />possible and in this way you are helping stop the spread of the virus. Thank you Hawaii <br />and let's continue to go forward and get better to keep family, friends, and community <br />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 />
