This is a COVID-19 informational update for Tuesday morning, April 21st.
On today’s report of COVID-19, the total number of people who tested positive for Hawaii Island remains at 63. From this 35 have been cleared as recovered and the remaining 28 are quarantined at home and monitored.
The Department of Health is continuing the investigation of this McDonald’s cluster and based on their findings thus far, believes this outbreak does not pose a threat to the general public. It is noted that 32 of Hawaii Islands’ total cases of 63 stems from this one cluster incident. The very hard lessons learned, and we should all learn is that, critical importance of following the health advisories of stay at home if you are sick, physical distancing, face coverings and social gatherings.
The testing of non-symptomatic family members associated with the fast-food restaurant cluster, resulted in two positive cases. Clearly illustrates that anyone can be a carrier without knowing it. All are strongly recommended to wear a face covering. This is a community issue and we all need to do our part.
Thank you very much for listening and please be safe.
