This is a COVID-19 informational update for Sunday, November 29th
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.
