The State of Hawaii has seen its third death from COVID-19. The total number of cases in the state as of noon on Friday, April 3, is 319, up 34 from Thursday. The island of Moloka’i also now has its first case, in a resident who had recently traveled to Las Vegas.
The State Department of Health’s Director, Bruce Anderson, has said the state’s numbers would rise as more tests were performed and returned. He also said although people who have had tests have been waiting up to 14 days for results, now more labs in the state will be doing the processing, so that wait time should be shortened.
The State’s count shows Hawaii County as having 20 total cases, with 6 people recovered and out of the required isolation.
