Hawai‘i reported 20 new COVID-19 infections overnight, bringing the statewide total of confirmed cases to 371.

The newest report on the state Department of Health website didn’t specify how many new cases each county acquired over the previous 24 hours.

The 20 new cases of COVID-19 are all adults, according to a state press release. Maui’s mayor announced a second case on Moloka‘i Saturday night and both of those cases are reflected in the Maui County numbers below.

A total of 21 people statewide have required hospitalization due to coronavirus infection. Four people have died.
