Kaua‘i Department of Health announces one new case of COVID-19
LĪHU‘E – The Kaua‘i District Health Office reported one new case of COVID-19 on
Thursday, Dec. 3.
The case is an adult male resident. This case remains under investigation but appears to
be community-acquired. All active cases are in isolation, and one case is hospitalized. Close
contacts are being identified, directed to quarantine, and offered testing.
Today's case brings the number of on-island active cases to 16, with 138 cumulative
cases. Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count includes 121 confirmed locally, one probable, and 16
positive cases diagnosed elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving
on island.
Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami’s Emergency Rule 23 is in effect, which sets a temporary
moratorium of the Safe Travels program. Under this rule, effective Dec. 2, all incoming travelers,
including mainland, inter-island residents, and visitors, are under a 14-day mandatory
quarantine.
The county’s modified quarantine program remains in place for critical infrastructure
workers, essential medical travel, or other special circumstances. To apply for a modified
quarantine, please visit www.kauai.gov/COVID-19 and click on the “modified quarantine
request” button at the top of the page.
