Hawaii’s Recent Spike In COVID-19 Cases Will Continue To Rise, Officials Say 34 Hawaii health officials urged everyone to get vaccinated.
Hawaii reported 243 new coronavirus cases Thursday, the highest single-day total since January, and officials warned a highly contagious variant will keep the numbers rising.
Health officials noted the cases are spread throughout the islands and said the majority of infections are among people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
“What we’re seeing here is widespread community transmission around the state,” Brooks Baehr, spokesman for the Health Department, said at a press conference.
