This is a Civil Defense message.
This is a COVID-19 information update for Thursday morning, May 21.
On today’s report of COVID-19, the total number of people tested positive for Hawaii
Island is 81, out of this, 76 have been cleared as recovered with the remaining 5
quarantined and monitored by the Department of Health. This increase over the past
few days is directly related to family connections. The lesson to learn here is how easily
this virus can spread. This shows how critically important it is that we continue to
practice preventive measures to help stop the spread of this virus. Your help is needed.
For your information, drive through testing will be conducted today in North Kona at the
Keauhou Shopping Center, hours are from 8 this morning till 12 noon. Thank you, Ali’i
Health for providing this free service, thank you, Hawaii National Guard and County
Task Force for your support.
Thank you for listening and have a good day.
This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense.
