The state Department of Health confirmed Thursday that another Hawaii island resident has contracted dengue fever, raising the number of locally acquired cases to 34.

The Health Department laboratory was closed Wednesday for the Veterans Day holiday. The new case was confirmed Tuesday, after the department’s 1 p.m. cutoff time to submit data for issuing a report.

The state lab is now testing all possible cases of dengue fever, both those associated with the outbreak on the Big Island and those acquired elsewhere.

Of the 34 confirmed cases, 26 are Hawaii island residents, and eight are visitors to the island. South Kona is a hot spot for exposure to the mosquito-borne virus.

Eastern shores getting big surf

A high-surf advisory remains in effect through 6 p.m. Sunday for east-facing shores of most Hawaii islands.

The National Weather Service issued the advisory Thursday for east-facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui and the Big Island.

Strong tradewinds have combined with an east swell to continue rough surf, the weather service said.

Lane to close on Maui road

State transportation officials say there will be a 24-hour left lane closure on Hana Highway on Maui in the eastbound direction between the Garden of Eden Arboretum and Keanae Road next week.

The road repairs will take place from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
