COVID-19 infections spike will not stall reopening Hawaii, officials say
Hawaii’s daily COVID-19 case count rose to 18 cases Thursday, but officials say the spike was expected and hasn’t reached a threshold that would delay reopening for the state’s local economy or interfere with planning to restart Hawaii tourism.
The state Department of Health said the new cases on Thursday brought the statewide tally to 762 cases since the start of the outbreak in February. Thursday’s cases include 15 Oahu residents and three others diagnosed on Oahu with their residences not yet identified and still under investigation, health officials said in an email.
