Hawaii health officials reported 78 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday and one death on Oahu.

Of the 78 cases recorded Tuesday, 62 were on Oahu, four were on the Big Island and five were on Maui. The remaining cases were Hawaii residents diagnosed out of state.

Lt. Gov. Josh Green is calling for lawmakers to hold a special legislative session to create a statewide mask policy.

Increases in the average number of daily cases on Oahu over the last two weeks could delay the island’s move to Tier 3.

Gatherings of up to 10 people would be allowed in Tier 3, but Oahu must maintain a seven-­day average of 49 or fewer daily cases, and a seven-day average positivity rate below 2.49% for two weeks straight.

Civil Beat calculates at least 239 people have died from the disease in Hawaii including 17 deaths on Hawaii island that have not been recorded yet by the Department of Health due to medical verification lags. The statewide official death toll is 222.

An average of about 4,400 tests are conducted daily.
