Health officials recorded 95 new COVID-19 cases statewide on Friday, including 70 on Oahu, 13 on the Big Island, five on Maui and one on Kauai. Six other Hawaii residents were diagnosed out-of-state and one Hawaii resident died, according to the Department of Health.

The new cases reported Friday reflect laboratory results that were submitted electronically to the Hawaii Department of Health between midnight Tuesday and 11:59 p.m. Wednesday.

The COVID-19 case reports are based on test results from laboratories statewide. The numbers include lab results from both residents and tourists. Since March, 95% of cases diagnosed in the islands have been among residents.

There were 1,301 new cases reported statewide in the last two weeks. Health officials use the number of cases reported in the past 14 days as a rough approximation of the number of active cases, or people who could still be infectious.

Civil Beat calculates at least 241 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 224. County officials are usually the first to announce local cases and fatalities.
