Hawaii Department of Health officials today reported two new coronavirus-related deaths and 58 new confirmed and probable infections statewide, bringing the state’s total since the start of the pandemic to 498 fatalities and 36,032 cases.

The two deaths were on Oahu, a man in his 40s who was hospitalized and had no underlying conditions, and a man in his 80s who had been hospitalized with underlying conditions.

The state’s official coronavirus-related death toll includes 386 fatalities on Oahu, 54 on Maui, 53 on Hawaii island, two on Kauai, and three Hawaii residents who died outside the state.

The U.S. coronavirus-related death toll today is over 592,000 and the nationwide infection tally is more than 33.2 million.

State health officials began counting probable infections last week, which added more than 1,600 total infections to the state’s total case count. The probable infections include people who never received a confirmatory test but are believed to have had the virus because of their known exposure and symptoms or because of a positive antigen test.

By island today, there were 38 new infection cases on Oahu, six on Hawaii island, nine on Maui and five diagnosed outside the state.

The total number of confirmed and probable coronavirus cases by island since the start of the outbreak are 27,007 on Oahu, 4,419 on Maui, 2,870 in Hawaii County, 318 on Kauai, 115 on Lanai and 78 on Molokai. There are also 1,225 Hawaii residents who were diagnosed outside of the state.

Today’s probable infections since the start of the pandemic added to the counts today include 792 on Maui, 730 on Oahu, 64 on Hawaii island, 24 on Molokai, three on Kauai, three on Lanai and 47 residents diagnosed outside the state.

The statistics released today reflect the new infection cases reported to the department on Tuesday.

Health officials also said today that of the state’s total infection count, 911 cases were considered to be active. Officials say they consider infections reported in the past 14 days to be a “proxy number for active cases.” The number of active cases in the state decreased by 21 today.

By island, Oahu has 721 active cases, Maui has 93, the Big Island has 60, Molokai has 26 and Kauai has 11.

Health officials counted 5,219 new COVID-19 test results in today’s tally, for a 1.11% statewide positivity rate. The state’s 7-day average positivity rate is 1%, according to the Hawaii COVID-19 Data dashboard.

The latest Hawaii COVID-19 vaccine summary said that 1,505,110 vaccine doses have been administered through state and federal distribution programs as of today.

Of all the confirmed Hawaii infection cases, 2,313 have required hospitalizations, with 11 new hospitalizations reported today.

Ten hospitalizations in the statewide count are Hawaii residents who were diagnosed and treated outside the state. Of the 2,303 hospitalizations within the state, 1,916 have been on Oahu, 249 on Maui, 123 on the Big Island, nine on Kauai, five on Lanai and one on Molokai.

According to the latest information from the department’s Hawaii COVID-19 Data dashboard, a total of 43 patients with the virus were in Hawaii hospitals as of Wednesday, with 13 in intensive care units and six on ventilators.

Oahu moved into the less-restrictive Tier 3 of the city’s four-tier economic recovery plan on Feb. 25 after being in Tier 2 since Oct. 22. Tier 3 permits social and outdoor recreational gatherings of up to 10 people, and restaurants to seat 10 people at a table. Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi on March 11 announced modifications to Tier 3, including allowing bars to reopen under the same conditions as restaurants and extending the curfew until midnight.

Honolulu will remain in Tier 3 of the city’s COVID-19 reopening framework until at least June 3, according to the mayor’s office.

The seven-day average case count for Oahu is 37 and the seven-day average positivity rate is 1.5%, state health officials said today.

During a press conference Wednesday in which he joined Gov. David Ige, Blangiardi hinted that Honolulu could be moving to Tier 4 earlier than planned.

“We anticipate moving into Tier 4 in Honolulu, and with that will come with some additional relaxations,” Blangiardi said, adding that the change could come “in just a few days.”
