Gov. Ige urges caution as new virus strains are found in Hawaii
Although new variants of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 have been confirmed in Hawaii, Gov. David Ige said Monday that those strains are not prevalent in the community.
“I just wanted to start by saying our state laboratory is really on it,” Ige said during a livestream with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “They were one of the first state laboratories certified to be able to conduct COVID-19 testing, and they are one of the few state labs that are able to do the entire genome sequence.”
