The state has seen more than a hundred new daily cases for three consecutive days.

By /

Hawaii health officials reported 122 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, including 87 on Oahu, 21 on Hawaii island, one on Kauai, seven on Maui, and six residents out of state.

No new deaths were reported. One case on Oahu and two cases on Hawaii island were removed from the counts.

There have been 1,234 cases documented during the last two weeks — a cohort of people who may still be infectious but are being monitored by health department staff.

VIRUS TRACKER UPDATE

Civil Beat’s virus tracker is updated when the state releases its daily numbers. The state is now posting the numbers at 3 p.m.

The average number of cases recorded on Oahu in the last seven days is 73. Approximately 3% of tests on Oahu returned positive this week.

Those metrics continue to keep Oahu in Tier 2 of its reopening plan and 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.

Statewide, the testing positivity rate remained at 2.3% Friday.

Civil Beat calculates at least 236 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 remains at 219 and the state’s COVID-19 death rate is 1.4%.

As of Thursday, 68 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were hospitalized, including 13 in intensive care and nine COVID-19 patients on ventilators.
