38 additional Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) inmates tested positive for COVID-19.
The Department of Public Safety (PSD) coordinated with the Department of Health (DOH) to conduct mass testing of all OCCC inmates in each of the 19 individual housing units there. 63 inmates were tested Wednesday by the Department of Health.
Results were obtained for 40 inmates.
35 came back positive and 5 negative. 5 tests that were conducted on August 11 by OCCC health care staff have also come in. 3 were positive and 2 negative.
As previously reported, 110 inmates were tested Tuesday with 70 testing positive and 40 negative. All remaining inmates will be tested in the coming days.
Of the 26 staff members tested on August 12, 16 results were obtained and all 16 were negative. The other results are pending. DOH testing is being afforded to ACOs first in the hotspot areas (Annex 1, Module 18 and 19) and then the rest of the staff.
