This is a COVID-19 informational update for Sunday, May 31St
On today's report of COVID-19, the total number of people tested on Hawaii Island to
date is 7,688. Out of this, 81 were identified as positive for having the virus. All 81
have been cleared as recovered leaving no active cases for Hawaii Island. I say again,
there are no active cases on Hawaii Island. For clarification, the change of count of
positive cases reported from 82 to 81 was because of a false positive count identified by
the Department of Health.
For your information, scheduled for Monday, June 1St, drive through testing for North
Kona and an O'hana Food Service for Ka'u.
The Island and State have responded well in efforts to minimize the spread of the
Coronavirus. This has allowed Hawaii to go forward. As announced, due to the
communities good work, openings of businesses, parks, beaches, and activities are
occurring. Individual opening dates will be dependent on readiness to meet the
requirements of safety. If assistance is needed, please call the Hawaii County Task
Force at 935-0031.
Ongoing forward, know that the virus threat remains and we need to continue to follow
the preventive policies to stop the spread of the Coronavirus. A huge and grateful thank
you to the community of Hawaii for doing your part to keep Hawaii safe.
Thank you for listening. Have a beautiful Sunday.
This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
