reported and monitored by the Department of Health is eleven (11). At this date, for
Hawaii Island one (1) is hospitalized. A total forty-nine (49) deaths have been reported

nui loa.
The Coronavirus case count and fatalities continue to dramatically increase across our
Nation and are projected to continue `til early next year. Please be aware of the need
for extreme care of traveling anywhere on the mainland especially of high volume tourist
destination areas. Don't roll the dice with your health. The Island and State of Hawaii
remains as one of the safest places to be in the United States. The Department of
Health data shows Hawaii Island leading the state in following preventative measures of
face coverings and well ahead of other counties in the participation by the community in
testing. Remember the purpose of testing is for early detection and early treatment to
protect self, loved ones and community.
Thank you, Hawaii, please continue to get better and within policies of distancing, face
coverings, and gatherings, stay healthy with exercise, fresh air, sunlight, cleanliness
and social connectedness. Do this and Hawaii Island can safely go through the next
two or three months in a safe way. You live in a very special place of nature's gifts and
the warmest of people. We can do this. To organizations of "Make Hawaii Safe," "808
Kupuna Fit," "Our Kuleana," "Keiki Heroes," "Gold Star," and so many others, thank you
for what you do to keep Hawaii safe.
Thank you for listening and have a safe day. Mahalo nui loa.
