LĪHU‘E —The Kaua‘i District Health Office reported three new positive cases of COVID-

inconclusive test result and re-tested while on island. The third recent case is a male resident
with no known travel history but has had frequent contact with visitors.
Eleven of 12 active cases are related to travel. There are currently 20 individuals in
