Hawaii Schools See An Uptick In Covid-19 Cases… The numbers remain relatively low but raise concern about a possible surge ahead of the two-week winter break.
As the first half of the school year draws to a close, data from the Hawaii Department of Education is raising fears of a possible new Covid-19 surge as the daily coronavirus case count inches up after weeks of relatively low numbers.
The DOE reported 46 cases across 26 schools on Monday, according to the agency’s data dashboard. That’s the highest number since Nov. 15, when 26 cases were confirmed across 22 schools.
It was also the first time the number surpassed 40 since Oct. 4, when the delta variant was the prominent source of concern of community spread.
