• Honolulu: 638
• Maui: 122
• Hawai‘i: 87
• Kaua‘i: 37
• Pending: 0
• Out-of-State Diagnoses: 16

To date, 111 people have been hospitalized as a result of COVID-19 infection, and 18 have died. A total of 722 individuals have been released from isolation and are considered recovered. 

There are currently 17 active cases of the virus on Kaua‘i, according to DOH numbers.
