Reporting Lag

Civil Beat’s virus tracker is updated when the state releases its daily numbers. The state posts new data daily at noon. Daily reports reflect laboratory results collected up until 11:59 p.m. two days prior, leaving a 36-hour lag between when results are submitted to the Department of Health and when the state reports them publicly.

Across the state, 3.2% of people tested during the past week have been confirmed to have COVID-19. On Oahu, that figure is 4.1%.

Approximately 116 people are hospitalized for COVID-19, with 26 people in intensive care units and 22 using ventilators for breathing support.

More than half of all cases diagnosed in the islands to date have been among people younger than 39 years old, but that age cohort accounts for the fewest number of hospitalizations and deaths.
