Footnotes
*As a result of updated information, one case on Maui was recategorized to Kauai, one case on Oahu was recategorized to Hawaii, one case on Hawaii was recategorized to out-of-state, and one case on Hawaii was dropped from the counts.
**Using cases reported in the past 14 days provides a rough approximation of the number of cases currently meeting criteria for isolation. This proxy number for “active cases” resolves classification issues for cases unable to be reached or who are out of jurisdiction, for whom precise release from isolation date may not be possible to determine. It is also not influenced by lags in data entry. (This total does not include Hawaii residents diagnosed outside of Hawaii)
†One case is a Lanai resident whose exposure is on Maui Island and who will be remaining on Maui Island for the interim.
‡Includes Hawaii residents hospitalized out of state.
§Includes cases that meet isolation release criteria (Isolation should be maintained until at least 24 hours after resolution of fever and myalgia without the use of antipyretics OR at least 10 days have passed since symptom onset, whichever is longer). (The cases that have died and one case that has left the jurisdiction have been removed from these counts). Positive cases include confirmed cases, and Hawaii residents and non-residents; data are preliminary and subject to change. Note that CDC provides case counts according to states of residence.

The number of Daily New Cases is defined as the count of all newly diagnosed and reported cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.This is the most important number to track to understand how COVID-19 is spreading in the community. When people talk about flattening the curve, they are referring to the graph of new cases reported over time. LEARN MORE »
