One new positive case of COVID-19 reported on Kaua‘i
LĪHU‘E — The Kaua‘i District Health Office today reported one new positive case of
COVID-19. This brings Kaua‘i’s total number of active cases to one, and the cumulative total of
cases to date is now 58.
The new case is a female resident who is currently in isolation. The source of her
infection appears to be related to mainland travel, and the case has been in travel quarantine
since her return to Kaua‘i.
The Department of Health completed its contact tracing investigation and all close
contacts have been directed to quarantine and offered a test.
As a reminder, this virus is widespread in our state and it continues to be important for
everyone to be careful on Kaua‘i – wear your masks, keep your distance, and avoid large
gatherings.
Kaua‘i’s most recent case will be reflected tomorrow in the statewide count, which is
posted daily at noon at hawaiicovid19.com. For local updates, visit the Kaua‘i Emergency
Management Agency page, www.kauai.gov/COVID-19.
