(BIVN) – There were 1,532 newly reported cases of COVID-19 in the State of Hawaiʻi on Thursday, up from the 1,177 cases reported on Wednesday. Of that number, 205 new cases were identified on Hawaiʻi island, up from the 74 cases reported the day before.

On Thursday, the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense reported 29 persons were hospitalized with COVID on the Big Island.

Health officials are currently monitoring 3,628 active cases on Hawaiʻi island. There has been a 14-day average of 201 new cases per day on the Big Island. The test positivity rate for the same time period is no longer available at the county-level, as the Health Department has been overwhelmed by the recent high case counts. However, an “interim method” is being used to calculate the test positivity rate for the entire state, which is now at 10.9%.

On the Health Department’s zip code area map showing reported COVID-19 cases with onset dates in the past 14 days, there are twenty-two (22) zip code areas on the Big Island showing over 10 cases, with twelve (12) of those areas showing over 50 cases. Only Hilo has recorded over 900 cases in that time. Zip code areas not listed below have recorded less than 10 cases in 14 days.
