Hawaii health officials reported 68 new cases of COVID-19 and three deaths on Saturday, including one person in Maui County and two people on Oahu.

The new cases included 15 on Hawaii island, 46 on Oahu, one in Maui County and six people diagnosed out of state.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell is recommending that families do not go trick-or-treating this year, but the practice is not banned under current COVID-19 restrictions, Caldwell told Hawaii News Now.

So far 65 inmates from Hawaii have tested positive for COVID-19 at Saguaro Correctional Center in Arizona, amid a growing outbreak there.

The statewide official death toll is 219 and the state’s COVID-19 death rate is 1.45%.

Civil Beat calculates at least 228 people have died from the disease in Hawaii including confirmed deaths on Hawaii island that have not been recorded yet by the Department of Health due to medical verification lags.

Oahu is currently in Tier 2 of its reopening plan. Lanai is under a stay-at-home order and has recorded 99 cases since last week.
