From this 29 have been cleared as recovered and the remaining 30 are <br />quarantined at home and monitored by the Department of Health. <br />This high increase over the past week mainly stems from the fast food establishment <br />cluster, 27 of the 30 quarantined have been associated with the fast food establishment <br />as family or employees. This so clearly demonstrates how important it is to follow the <br />health advisories of the Department of Health of stay at home if you are sick, sneezing <br />and coughing etiquette, physical distancing, social gatherings and staying healthy. We <br />owe it to our family and the community to do our share. This is a community issue and <br />needs all to do their part. <br />For your information drive through testing will be conducted at the Hilo Civic Center <br />Sunday April 19 from 9 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon and in Kona at the Keauhou <br />th <br />Shopping Center Monday April 20 from 8 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon.
