On Monday, another person on Oahu had died because of complications related to the coronavirus called COVID-19.

Dozens of health care workers, many of them volunteers, have been traveling all over the state to test as many people as possible. Next up: homeless camps.

Oahu and the Big Island each reported one new confirmed case Sunday.

The governor said some restrictions could be eased earlier in May, depending on factors such as hospital resources.

Two new cases of COVID-19 were reported on Oahu Saturday, while another Hawaii resident tested positive on the mainland.

The state’s documented infection count rose by five COVID-19 cases to 601 on Friday.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell backed away from comments suggesting reintroducing tourism on Kauai could show whether it was safe statewide.

Rural hospitals also received more than $800,000 to purchase personal protective equipment and perform more testing.

More than a dozen tourists have received financial assistance to return to the airports they flew in from, most after violating the quarantine order.

In a span of the last three days, the Department of Health also reported seven more seniors have been hospitalized.
