Statewide COVID-19 metrics improving, officials say
State Department of Health officials Sunday reported 77 new COVID-19 infections which brought the statewide count to 11,403 cases since the pandemic began and continued a recent trend of improving metrics.
On Sunday, Hawaii’s effective reproduction rate for the virus had dropped to 0.78, meaning people who test positive for coronavirus in the state will infect an average of 0.78 other people.
A rate above 1 means the virus will spread quickly. A rate below 1 means the virus will eventually stop spreading.
