The Kaua‘i District Health Office today reports two new positive cases of COVID-19. The cumulative total of cases to date is 45.
One of the new cases is a resident and one is a visitor. Both cases appear to be travel related. The Kauai District Health Office staff is working to ensure that the cases are safely in isolation, and their close contacts are safely in quarantine before the storm hits.
The state Department of Health (DOH) continues to gather more information. Updates on new positive cases will be announced as they are confirmed. Contacts of the active cases will be required to self-quarantine.
As a reminder, officials urge the public to refrain from leisurely travel and large gatherings. Indoor gatherings are now limited to 10 individuals or fewer. If you must go out, wear a mask, keep your physical distance from others, and stay outdoors as much as possible.
Mask wearing is mandatory any time you are outside your home, with limited exceptions.
Today’s new cases will be reflected on the state’s COVID-19 website at hawaiicovid19.com. The count is updated at noon every day.
