Hawaii Department of Health officials today confirmed 12 COVID-19 deaths at the Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home in Hilo and reported an additional coronavirus-related death on Oahu, bringing the state total since the beginning of the pandemic to 120 fatalities.

“Reporting on these deaths was delayed due to pending medical reports required for verification and classification of deaths as COVID-19,” state health officials said today in a news release.

The 95-bed Hilo nursing home, named after a decorated World War II veteran in the 442nd Infantry Regiment, has had seven health citations over the past three years.

It is expected these reports will be ready soon. The DOH/OHCA unannounced inspection report is being completed today and will be transmitted to the facility before being shared with the public,” according to a statement.

The additional death on Oahu was a man in his 70s with underlying health conditions and was hospitalized with COVID-19 before he died.
