Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office announces two new
cases of COVID-19 on March 23
LĪHU‘E – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported two
cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, March 23.
Today’s cases are both adult visitors. One confirmed case is a male whose source of infection is
related to mainland travel. The other is a probable case in a female visitor who is a symptomatic close
contact of a confirmed case. Her source of infection is also related to mainland travel. She declined
testing and is therefore considered a probable case. All active cases are in isolation. Close contacts are
being identified, directed to quarantine, and offered testing.
Today’s cases bring the number of active cases to five, with 222 cumulative cases. Kaua‘i’s
cumulative case count includes 188 confirmed locally, two probable, and 32 positive cases diagnosed
elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving on island.
