The rising spread rate in Oahu has led the federal government to launch a two-week-high crescent crusade on the island.
Health officials in Hawaii reported 4 COVID-19-like deaths on Thursday, as 306 new cases were verified on the islands.
Authorities have yet published more data on the most recent deaths.
Ten new cases were verified on the island of Hawaii, seven in Maui and the remaining 289 cases in Oahu. On average, nearly 250 new COVID-19 instances have been reviewed during the following week, most of them in Oahu.
People flocked to a federally funded check crusade Wednesday to check for up to 60,000 more people over the next two weeks. People can check in places for the next two weeks, but they don’t want an appointment to check.
The uncontrolled spread of the disease in the network in Oahu triggered the order to stay in the house of the last two weeks of the island, which took effect on Thursday and caused the closure of business, adding beauty salons and gyms. Childcare, construction, physical care, and some educational and devoted facilities would possibly remain open.
A new report by the Hawaii State Auditor states that the auditor’s workplace “has encountered obstacles, delays and, however, has been denied access to those to be directed by branch contact.” The branch has been criticized for not hiring enough touch markers before the wave of infection, which was expected to occur after the resumption of business and operations after the first state shutdown in March.
The city and Honolulu County plan to rent between 250 and 500 touch plotters to complement the state’s efforts for COVID-19 in Oahu.
