The state also reported one new death, bringing the statewide total to 10.

UPDATE: From the Hawaiʻi Department of Health:

The State extends its condolences to the family and friends of the adult male visitor who is the 10th death in Hawai‘i associated with COVID-19. The individual was an adult male from Washington state in the 40-59-year age group who had no previous medical conditions and a history of travel. He had been hospitalized for an extended period in serious condition at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Six (6) new positive cases of COVID-19 were also reported by DOH Sunday, bringing the total number of cases to 580. Three (3) were on Oʻahu, two (2) on Maui, and one (1) on Hawai‘i.

The Hawaiʻi health department reported one new case on Hawaiʻi island, bringing the total to 62. The County, which reports slightly different numbers on a day-to-day basis, reported two new cases for a total of 61.

From the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense message this morning:

On today’s report of COVID-19, the total number of people who tested positive for Hawaii Island is 61. From this, 31 have been cleared as recovered and the remaining 30 are quarantined at home and monitored by the Department of Health. At this date, no one tested positive for Hawaii Island had to be hospitalized.

This high increase over the past week stems mainly from the fast food establishments; which have been closed. This so clearly demonstrates how important it is to follow the health advisories of Stay at Home if you are sick, Physical Distancing, Face Coverings, and Social Gatherings. The magnitude of this cluster outbreak could have been avoided.

People are only allowed to access State beaches to get to the ocean for exercise, and they must be following proper social distancing measures. DLNR Chair Suzanne Case and DOCARE Chief Jason Redulla commented, “This is necessary to try and flatten the curve of coronavirus infections, so life can begin to return to normal in Hawai‘i.” Violations of the emergency rules can carry fines up to $5,000 and a year in jail.
