Office of the Governor:Spike in Cases Remind Community to Stay Vigilant, Reinstating Measures Being ConsideredAt a news briefing Wednesday, Gov.
Ige addressed the latest spike in COVID-19 cases. He said while the State is concerned about the high numbers, it was anticipated because the State laboratory was not testing during Hurricane Douglas.
DOH reported a total of 109 cases overnight. Gov. Ige also assured the public the spike is manageable, and Hawai‘i still has adequate healthcare capacity.
However, he is now proposing counties reinstate some measures in coordination with the State in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
