One (1) new death was reported on the Big Island: A Hawaii Island man, age 70-79, who was hospitalized with no significant underlying conditions.

The Hawaiʻi Department of Health says there have been 214 cases of COVID-19 reported on Hawaiʻi island in the past 14 days. On the health department’s zip code area map showing reported COVID-19 cases with onset dates in the past 14 days, the zip code area of Hilo shows the highest total in the entire state.

• 96720 (Hilo) – 133 cases
• 96749 (Puna) – 13 cases

The big increase in Hilo can be attributed to the COVID-19 outbreak at the Hawaiʻi Community Correctional Center.

That brings the total active positive inmate cases at HCCC to 119, officials say.
