Health officials reported 10 deaths and 143 new COVID-19 cases statewide on Wednesday, including 85 on Oahu, 29 on Maui, eight on the Big Island, three on Kauai, one on Molokai and 17 residents diagnosed out of state.

Nine deaths were on Oahu and one was on Maui. No further details were immediately available.

To date, 22,310 people in Hawaii have been diagnosed with COVID-19, including 1,543 in the past two weeks.

The official state death toll from the virus is now 299. Civil Beat calculates at least 305 people have died from the disease in Hawaii, including six deaths on Hawaii island confirmed by local county authorities that are still pending medical verification by the state.

Across the state, 3.5% of people tested during the past week have been confirmed to have COVID-19.

That positivity rate is influenced by increasing case rates on Oahu and Maui County. On Oahu, 4.5% of people tested last week were confirmed to have COVID-19, with an average of 103 new infections recorded daily.

In Maui County, 3.5% of people tested during the last week had positive results, with an average of 27 new cases reported daily.

Hawaii County’s testing positivity rate is 2.3% and Kauai County’s is 0.8%.

More than 25,470 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the state, most of them on Oahu, according to new information posted online by health authorities.

Before you go

Civil Beat readership has more than doubled in the past nine months. That’s incredible growth for which we’re so grateful.

But for a small nonprofit newsroom that provides free content with no paywall, readership growth alone can’t sustain our journalism. The truth is that less than 1% of our monthly readers are financial supporters.

To remain a viable business model for local news, we need a higher percentage of readers-turned-donors.
