A total of 1,290 individuals have been hospitalized as a result of COVID-19 infection, while at least 244 have died.

Health experts at the state and national level are asking Hawai‘i residents to remain especially vigilant over the next two weeks with regards to social distancing measures. Spikes in the virus are expected due to holiday gatherings, and the resulting surges could be exacerbated by people congregating irresponsibly over the next 10-14 days.
