Health officials reported 452 new confirmed and probable coronavirus infections today, Hawaii’s third-highest daily count which brings the state’s total since the start of the pandemic to 42,862 cases.

The state’s official coronavirus-related death toll includes 413 fatalities on Oahu, 61 on Maui, 58 on Hawaii island, two on Kauai, and three Hawaii residents who died outside the state.

The latest numbers come after the state reported a record 622 new infections, followed by 485 on Saturday, a combination of the highly contagious delta variant and a backlog of uncounted cases from earlier this week due to a problem with laboratory testing results.

The new confirmed and probable infection count reported today includes 276 new cases on Oahu, 99 on Hawaii island, 66 on Maui, six on Kauai, and five Hawaii residents diagnosed outside of the state.

The total number of confirmed and probable coronavirus cases by island since the start of the outbreak are 30,997 on Oahu, 5,191 on Maui, 4,150 in Hawaii County, 554 on Kauai, 117 on Lanai, and 81 on Molokai.

Of the state’s total infection count, 3,298 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 state’s total number of active cases increased today by 302.

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

Of all the confirmed Hawaii infection cases, 2710 have required hospitalizations, with two new hospitalizations — one each on Maui and Hawaii island — reported today.

According to Friday’s update on the department’s Hawaii COVID-19 Data dashboard, a total of 117 patients with the virus were in Hawaii hospitals, with 23 in intensive care units and 12 on ventilators.

The additional five cases presumably are Hawaii residents diagnosed out of state, although Green did not mention those cases.

“Today my colleagues at hospitals across the state are pleading with the public to vaccinate,” Green, who is an emergency room physician on the Big Island, said in his Instagram post.
