This is a COVID-19 informational update for Sunday, November 29.
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 four (4). At this date, for Hawaii Island, two (2)
are hospitalized. A total of forty-nine (49) deaths have been reported on Hawaii Island.
As case counts continue to increase across the Nation we need to do all that we can to keep the
number of positive cases low on Hawaii Island. To be proud of, Hawaii Island remains one of
the safest places in the United States. Department of Health data shows that Hawaii Island
leads the state in testing of its citizens. Remember the purpose of testing is to identify positive
cases early so we may reduce the spread of the virus. Please visit one of the County’s District
test sites held at multiple sites throughout the Island weekly. Hawaii Island also leads the state
with 90% of its citizens following the face covering requirement for 2 consecutive
months. Thank you Hawaii and lets continue working towards 100% to keep our families,
friends, and community safe.
Thank you for listening and have a safe Weekend.
This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
