Hawaii CARES hotline now offers around-the-clock access to mental health resources, substance abuse treatment services and crisis support.

All the new cases were on Oahu, where there are now close to 1,300 active cases.

The death of a Honolulu man brought the state’s coronavirus-related death toll to 27.

This time the destruction and overuse of Hawaii’s outdoor treasures can’t be blamed on tourists.

The governor says more needs to be done to slow down the spread of COVID-19 in Hawaii, but did not announce any new actions on Monday.

House Speaker Scott Saiki says he is concerned that the state Department of Health is refusing to release the kind of information people need to make good decisions.

Nearly all the cases are on Oahu, where there have now been 2,083 cases identified since March.

After nearly five months of the pandemic, Gov. David Ige and his top health officials have yet to articulate an effective response strategy that gets the public behind them.

The new results bring the official total of positive cases in Hawaii to 2,242.

The number of new cases reported Saturday was lower than in previous days but health officials cautioned that could be due to a lag in testing.
