Hawaii health officials reported one new COVID-19 case on Maui and another death on Oahu on Monday.
The Oahu woman who died was older than 65 and had been hospitalized since early April. She had other health conditions.
The state’s documented infection count reached 607, with 16 deaths.
Eleven of the deaths have occurred on Oahu and five on Maui.
Of the 607 infected to date, the majority, or 493 people, have recovered enough to be released from isolation, according to health officials. Five more people were reported to have recovered since Sunday.

The criteria for release from isolation are at least seven days since symptom onset and at least three days since having a fever, according to CDC guidelines.
There were no new hospitalizations reported on Monday. Across the state, 68 people with verified coronavirus infections continue to be hospitalized, according to the Department of Health.
In Hawaii County, one person is hospitalized. On Oahu, 53 people are in the hospital, along with one in Kauai County and 13 on Maui.

More than 28,000 people had been tested for the virus as of Sunday.
