This is a COVID-19 informational update for Friday morning, April 17th
On today's report of COVID-19, the total number of people who tested positive for
Hawaii Island remains at 42. From this, 29 have been cleared as recovered and the
remaining 13 are quarantined at home and monitored by the Department of Health.
This increase of two, from yesterday, stems from the fast food establishment cluster.
This so clearly demonstrates how important it is to follow the health advisories of: if sick,
stay home and seek medical advice; sneezing and coughing etiquette; physical
distancing; gatherings; your good health and other advisories.
To keep Hawaii safe, your help is needed. We expect those that take care of us to
always be there, please do your part.
Thank you for listening and a healthy Aloha Friday to you.
This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense.
