Hospitals Struggle With Influx Of Patients As Hawaii’s COVID-19 Caseload Mounts … Gov. David Ige has said he may need to reimpose COVID-19 restrictions if the rapid rise continues and hospitals are overwhelmed.
Hawaii reported 485 new coronavirus cases on Saturday as hospitals raised concerns about their capacity to deal with an influx of patients due to the latest spike in infections.
The state has faced two weeks of triple-digit case counts, which health officials say are driven by the highly contagious delta variant and are largely affecting unvaccinated people.
Gov. David Ige has warned that he may need to reimpose COVID-19 restrictions if the rapid rise continues, saying he is closely watching hospitalizations due to the respiratory virus.
