Hawaii health officials today reported one new coronavirus-related death on Oahu and 164 new infections, bringing the statewide totals since the beginning of the pandemic to 85 fatalities and 9,855 cases.

The total new cases today included 147 on Oahu, 14 on Hawaii island, and three in Maui County.

As the result of updated information, one case from Maui and another from the Big Island were removed from the counts, and a case from Honolulu was re-categorized to Kauai, officials said.

As of today, 6,779 infections are considered active cases statewide, with a total of 2,991 patients now classified by health officials as “released from isolation,” or about 30% of those infected.

Today’s total coronavirus cases by county since the start of the outbreak include 8,911 on Oahu, 506 in Hawaii County, 354 in Maui County, and 58 in Kauai County. There are also 25 Hawaii residents diagnosed outside of the state.

Officials counted 5,107 new tests in today’s tally, with today’s 164 positive cases representing 3.2% of the total tested. Of the 234,903 coronavirus tests conducted so far by state and clinical laboratories in Hawaii since the start of the outbreak, a total of 4.2% have been positive.

Hawaii’s run of triple-digit increases in daily new COVID-19 cases in August prompted state, city and federal government to partner in a free surge testing program on Oahu to administer tests to 90,000 people over roughly three weeks. Go to doIneedacovid19test.com for more information.
