LIHU‘E — The state Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office Sunday reported one new positive case of COVID-19. This is the only active case on Kaua‘i at this time, and the cumulative total of cases to date is now 48.
The new case is an adult resident who had recently returned home from interisland travel. The person is in isolation and is not hospitalized.
“This is the second Kaua‘i case related to interisland travel,” said Mayor Derek Kawakami.
”Reinstating the interisland quarantine will help us to minimize the spread on COVID-19 on our island, particularly as the cases on O‘ahu continue to rise,” stated Kawakami. “As a reminder, effective Tuesday, Aug. 11, all incoming passengers to the Lihu‘e Airport will be subject to the 14-day mandatory quarantine.”
Contacts of the positive case are being notified, quarantined and offered a test. The DOH’s contact-tracing investigation remains ongoing.
The DOH reported 152 new positive cases in total on Sunday, including the case on Kaua‘i, one on Maui, three on Hawai‘i Island and 147 on O‘ahu.
Tell us all DK, how long are we going to hide from this? There is not going to be a working vaccine anytime soon. The only way out of this is theraputics and Herd immunity. You are endangering all of us in the longterm with your stupid isolation policies. So far, according to the ridiculous narrative there have been only 48 cases on the island but you have made almost every single wage earner and independent business owner suffer to the point of bankruptcy and eviction. You and your cronies have taken away the health insurance of 10s of thousands of people but yet you claim this is about our health. What is that going to do to us?
People aren’t going to use businesses unless the virus is under control. Opening up will destroy Kauai worse than anything else. You get one shot to get it right. Florida will not recover for decades after their terrible response.
“What is that going to do to us ?”
It seems like it is saving the life and health of you and your family.
How did this person contract it and where?????
