Health officials reported 57 new COVID-19 cases statewide on Sunday and the deaths of two people on Oahu.

The new cases included 46 on Oahu, four on Hawaii island, one on Kauai and three on Maui. Three Hawaii residents were diagnosed out of state. The state also confirmed the deaths of two people on Hawaii Island that had previously been reported by county officials.

The state’s official death toll is 244. Civil Beat calculates at least 259 people have died from the disease in Hawaii including 15 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.
