(BIVN) – There were 916 newly reported cases of COVID-19 in the State of Hawaiʻi on Sunday, down from the 1,278 cases reported on Saturday. Of that number, 155 new cases were identified on Hawaiʻi island, down from the 192 cases reported the day before.

On Sunday, the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense reported 37 persons were hospitalized with COVID on the Big Island.

Health officials are currently monitoring 2,862 active cases on Hawaiʻi island. There has been a 14-day average of 152 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 9.1%.

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.
