DOH Reports 114 New Cases of COVID Friday

The Hawai‘i Department of Health on Friday reported 114 new cases of COVID-19, along with 13 coronavirus-related deaths. The total number of cases reported statewide since the pandemic began is now 11,217.

The jump in the death toll is attributed to 12 fatalities at the Yukio Okutsu Veterans Home, where at least 18 people have died due to COVID-related illness. The other death was attributed to an O‘ahu man.

No new cases were reported on the island of Kaua‘i. Instead, one case was removed from the total count Friday due to a recording error. Just one case remains active on Kaua‘i, according to DOH statistics. The state’s virus tracker, which maps cases by district across all islands, can be accessed here.
