<br />CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY Date: April 21, 2020 <br />MEDIA UPDATE Time: 8:30 AM <br /> Radio Frequency: Each Hour <br /> Update #: 1 <br />Incident: Coronavirus Update <br />This is a Civil Defense message. <br />This is a COVID-19 informational update for Tuesday morning, April 21st. <br />On today’s report of COVID-19, the total number of people who tested positive for <br />Hawaii Island remains at 63. From this 35 have been cleared as recovered and the <br />remaining 28 are quarantined at home and monitored. <br />The Department of Health is continuing the investigation of this McDonald’s cluster and <br />based on their findings thus far, believes this outbreak does not pose a threat to the <br />general public. It is noted that 32 of Hawaii Islands’ total cases of 63 stems from this <br />one cluster incident. The very hard lessons learned, and we should all learn is that, <br />critical importance of following the health advisories of stay at home if you are sick, <br />physical distancing, face coverings and social gatherings. <br />The testing of non-symptomatic family members associated with the fast-food <br />restaurant cluster, resulted in two positive cases. Cleary illustrates that anyone can be <br />a carrier without knowing it. All are strongly recommended to wear a face covering. <br />This is a community issue and we all need to do our part. <br />Thank you very much for listening and please be safe. <br />This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense. <br /> <br />
