This is a COVID-19 informational update for Wednesday, November 25.
On today’s update of COVID-19, the number of new active cases, on Hawaii Island, reported
and monitored by the Department of Health is two (2). At this date, for Hawaii Island, five (5)
are hospitalized. A total of forty-nine (49) deaths have been reported on Hawaii Island.
In recent weeks, the majority of mainland states, including Alaska, experienced huge spikes of
the Coronavirus which, unfortunately, are projected to get worse. Hawaii Island has also seen
an increase in community caused cases of Coronavirus. Recent tests on Hawaii Island clearly
show that the Coronavirus spread is due to close gatherings especially of young people and of
families.
On this day before Thanksgiving a very special appeal to all of Hawaii. For your family, your
loved ones, and your community, know how important it is to follow the preventive policies of
face coverings, distancing, and gatherings. Do participate in the free testing provided to you by
your County Government. Also remember the purpose of testing is to identify positive cases as
early as possible and in this way, help stop the spread of the Coronavirus. Hawaii Island is one
of the safest places in the United States. Your help is needed to keep it that way. Let us make
this a happy and safe Holiday Season.
Thank you for listening and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
