Both of the latest deaths were on Oahu. No further information was immediately available regarding the latest deaths.

Today’s count of new confirmed and probable infections statewide, however, includes about 130 cases not previously reported because a testing provider “experienced an interruption with the electronic laboratory reporting system,” according to DOH spokesman Brooks Baehr. The backlogged cases are from specimens analyzed between Nov. 28 and Dec. 13.

The state’s official coronavirus-related death toll includes 792 fatalities on Oahu, 146 on Hawaii island, 102 on Maui, 13 on Kauai, one on Molokai and 11 Hawaii residents who died outside the state.
