Health officials reported 76 new COVID-19 cases statewide on Saturday, including 48 on Oahu, 17 on Hawaii island, one on Kauai and nine on Maui. One Hawaii resident was  diagnosed out of state.

Starting Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., people flying to Kauai will no longer be able to skip a 14-day quarantine by taking a COVID-19 test. Gov. David Ige approved a request by the mayor of Kauai on Friday to temporarily opt out of the state’s pre-travel testing program.

Of the 46 cases of COVID-19 diagnosed on Kauai in November, 78% were associated with travel — including residents and visitors.

The state’s official death toll is 240. Civil Beat calculates at least 257 people have died from the disease in Hawaii including 17 deaths on Hawaii island that are pending medical verification by the state. To date, 49 deaths on the Big Island have been recorded by the Hawaii County Civil Defense.

According to Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health, the COVID-19 case reports are based on test results from laboratories statewide and include test results from both residents and tourists tested within the state.

The results of Hawaii residents who test positive out of state are also included, as well as cases confirmed among military service members and their family, although military cases are not specifically indicated.

If a visitor takes a test outside of Hawaii, those test results are reported to their home state health authorities and would not be reflected in the Hawaii health department’s reports. In some cases, rapid point-of-care testing results are not submitted to the DOH and are not included in these daily reports either.
