One new case on Maui, three new cases here on the Big Island of Hawaii County. Talk I hear is recent cases on the Big Island are traveller-related. Latest being a returning family member who got sick and infected the whole family… hence three new cases today.
Governor is slowly easing restrictions. Beaches are now open IF YOU PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCE. County parks here open… state and national parks remain closed. Plans to ease the inter island travel quarantine in a few days. More low risk businesses opening. The ‘Covid Czar’ here is Lt. Governor Josh Green, M.D. He notes that the State has adequate medical reserve capacity at this point. Only 19% of ventilators in use, and hospital and ICU beds occupied is below 50%. If they see a worrisome surge coming back, the lockdowns will be put back in place.
