Kaua‘i Department of Health announces one new positive case of COVID-19
LĪHU‘E —The Kaua‘i District Health Office reported one new case of COVID-19 on
Wednesday.
The case is a male resident who received a negative pre-travel test result as part of the
state’s Safe Travels program, but took a voluntary post-travel test which was positive.
All active cases are in isolation and one person is hospitalized.
Kaua‘i now has 13 active, on-island cases and a cumulative total of 95. Kaua‘i’s
cumulative total includes 85 confirmed on-island cases, one probable case, and nine are
confirmed positive cases with tests performed out-of-state/off-island but reported after
arrival/return to Kaua‘i.
The County is currently in Tier 4, the lowest tier on Kauai’s Business and Recreational
Guidelines for COVID-19 Tier Tracker. If cases remain above a weekly average of two per day
for two weeks, or test positivity remains above a weekly average of 1% for two weeks, the
County will move to Tier 3, prompting additional restrictions.
