--Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office announces 23 new cases of COVID-19 on August 7--

LĪHU‘E – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported 23 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, August 7.

Today’s cases consist of three visitors and 20 residents. Of the 23 cases, six are children and 17 are adults. Nine of the cases are related to travel – eight mainland and one interisland. The remaining 14 cases are considered community-acquired. Nine of the community-acquired cases are close contacts of previously announced cases or tied to the active restaurant cluster. The remaining five community-acquired cases have no known source of infection.

Two of the cases announced today are probable and no confirmatory testing will be conducted. One of today’s cases received their positive test results after their arrival on Kaua‘i.
All active cases are in isolation, and close contacts are being identified, offered testing, and directed to quarantine. Investigations are ongoing.

Today’s cases bring the number of active cases to 103, with two hospitalized, and 699 cumulative cases. Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count includes 645 confirmed locally, eight probable, and 46 positive cases diagnosed elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving on island.

Daily case counts continue to rise rapidly, despite the Department of Health’s efforts to perform comprehensive case investigation and contact tracing. If you test positive, please don’t wait to hear from the Department of Health before taking action: isolate yourself at home, and let those you’ve been in contact with know that they’ve been exposed. Your close contacts should quarantine and plan to be tested. Your prompt action makes a difference.

If you have symptoms or are feeling sick, you should isolate yourself immediately, stay away from household members, and not go out – including to work or school – unless you are seeking testing or getting health care. Those who have been vaccinated should still be tested if they believe they may have been exposed or if they feel sick.

Many cases are in residents who have traveled. If you plan a trip, please be vaccinated before you go. And whether or not you are vaccinated, follow Hawai‘i’s prudent rules and wear a mask in crowded indoor settings. Finally, please get tested 3 to 5 days after you return to Kaua‘i.

Vaccination is free and widely available on the island, including on weekends and evenings and pop-up vaccination opportunities at community sites. Many vaccination sites accept walk-ins. Residents aged 18 and older are eligible for any vaccine available at pharmacy, hospital, and clinic locations. The Pfizer vaccine has been authorized for use in those 12 years of age and older, and are currently available at Wilcox Medical Center, Līhu‘e Longs, and Līhu‘e Safeway. For details on the vaccination sites, visit www.kauai.gov/vaccine.

Free testing is available at the Convention Hall, weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, a free mobile testing van is available for walk-ins from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kekaha Neighborhood Center on Wednesdays, Kīlauea Neighborhood Center on Thursdays, Kalāheo Neighborhood Center on Fridays, Hanalei Neighborhood Center on Saturdays, and Kapa‘a Neighborhood Center on Sundays. Testing performed at the Convention Hall and through the mobile testing van is rapid PCR. Same-day results are sent via email.

Testing is also available through your primary care physician, a hospital, or an urgent care clinic. Please contact those providers directly for more information. For more details, visit https://www.kauai.gov/covidtest.

--Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office announces 7 new cases of COVID-19 on July 24--

LĪHU‘E – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported seven new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, July 24.

Today’s cases are all residents – six adults and one child. The source of infection for two of the cases is related to mainland travel. The remaining five cases are considered community-acquired. Three of the community-acquired cases are close contacts of previously announced cases. The other two community-acquired cases have no known source of infection. Two of today’s cases were diagnosed elsewhere with results received after arrival on Kaua‘i.

All active cases are in isolation, and close contacts are being identified, offered testing, and directed to quarantine. Investigations are ongoing.

Today’s cases bring the number of active cases to 49, with four hospitalized, and 558 cumulative cases. Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count includes 511 confirmed locally, three probable, and 44 positive cases diagnosed elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving on island.

If you have symptoms or are feeling sick, you should isolate yourself immediately, stay away from household members, and not go out – including to work or school – unless you are seeking testing or getting health care. Those who have been vaccinated should still be tested if they believe they may have been exposed or if they feel sick.

The Kaua‘i District Health Office team continues to investigate thoroughly every case reported on Kaua‘i. Staff interviews everyone who tests positive to get information about how they may have become infected and who they may have exposed during their infectious period. Each person who is identified as a close contact is called by one of our contact tracers, and notified of their exposure. They are instructed to quarantine, to monitor for symptoms, and are offered testing. KDHO staff is in daily contact with every case and every close contact for the duration of their isolation or quarantine periods. This is a labor-intensive but effective core public health approach to disease control, and we are fortunate to have been able to continue robust case investigation and contact tracing.

Many cases are in residents who have traveled. If you plan a trip, please be vaccinated before you go. And whether or not you are vaccinated, follow Hawai‘i’s prudent rules and wear a mask in crowded indoor settings.

Residents aged 18 and older are eligible for any vaccine available at pharmacy, hospital, and clinic locations. The Pfizer vaccine has been authorized for use in those 12 years of age and older, and are available at hospitals and pharmacies islandwide.
Vaccination is free and widely available on the island, including on weekends and evenings and pop-up vaccination opportunities at community sites. Many vaccination sites accept walk-ins. For details, visit www.kauai.gov/vaccine. Those who plan to travel can protect themselves and their families by being fully vaccinated before traveling.

Free testing is available at the Convention Hall, weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Testing is also available through your primary care physician, a hospital, or an urgent care clinic. Please contact those providers directly for more information.

LĪHU‘E – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported six new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, April 28.

All six of the cases are Kaua‘i residents. Two cases are children whose family members had a history of travel – their source of infection is considered inter-island travel-related. Two are adult residents who received positive test results after their return from the mainland. Their source of infection is also travel-related. The last two cases are adult residents whose sources of infection are considered community-acquired. We are awaiting confirmatory test results for several additional cases. Contacts are being identified, directed to quarantine, and offered testing.

“Several of our cases over the past few weeks have attended work, school, and social events while sick,” said Dr. Janet Berreman, Kaua‘i District Health Officer for the Kaua‘i District Health Office. “We can't stress enough how important it is to stay home when you are sick and to contact your primary care provider to determine whether you should be tested for COVID-19. Additionally, almost all of our recent cases have been in unvaccinated individuals. If you have not been vaccinated, please schedule your appointment now.”

Vaccination is widely available on the island. For details, visit Kauai.gov/vaccine. Those who plan to travel can protect themselves and their families by being fully vaccinated before traveling.

Today’s cases bring the number of active cases to 34, with 270 cumulative cases. Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count includes 233 confirmed locally, two probable, and 35 positive cases diagnosed elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving on island.

--COVID-19 “UK variant” detected in Kaua‘i visitor--

LĪHUʻE – The Kaua‘i District Health Office announced Monday that another COVID-19 variant has been confirmed on the island.
The B.117 variant, also known as the “UK variant,” was detected in a sample taken from a U.S. mainland visitor who tested positive on the island earlier this month.

The visitor received a negative pre-travel test before traveling from the mainland to Kaua‘i, then tested positive several days after arriving. The visitor’s close contacts were identified, directed to quarantine, and tested. They have completed their 10-day quarantine period and been released. No additional cases have been detected in the community. The visitor’s sample was submitted for genomic sequencing to see whether it might be one of the variants of concern identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and it was confirmed to be the B.117 variant.

This comes a week after the B 1.429 “California” variant was confirmed in a Kaua‘i household group who became ill as a result of inter-island travel. In that case also, all close contacts completed testing and quarantine and there is no evidence to date of transmission into the community.

The Kaua‘i District Health Office continues to monitor our community for cases and test for variants.

Selected samples from the recent new cases will have genomic sequencing performed at the State Laboratory. This testing for variants takes approximately eight business days, so results will not be available for another 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, all cases are being managed with isolation of cases, quarantine, and testing of all close contacts. Due to the high transmission rates to household contact members from several of these cases, Kaua‘i health officials expect that at least a few of them are the result of COVID-19 variants. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these variants spread more easily and quickly than earlier strains, which can lead to more cases of COVID-19.

Currently available vaccines provide strong protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death from these variants. The B117 variant is additionally of concern because it appears to cause more severe illness and more deaths. This makes vaccination especially important to provide protection from severe disease. These variants are being closely investigated and more studies are underway. For more information, please visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/transmission/variant.html.

“These variants are now the dominant strains elsewhere in the state and on the mainland. With more frequent travel to and from our island—by residents and visitors—we can expect additional introduction and spread of variants,” said Dr. Janet Berreman, Kaua‘i District Health Officer. “The best protection we have is to be vaccinated. Even after being vaccinated, it is essential that we continue to exercise caution: wear masks when around others, avoid large gatherings, keep your distance, and stay home if you are sick. If you are 16 years of age or older and have not been vaccinated, now is the time to get your vaccine. For those of you who have been vaccinated—mahalo for setting a good example and protecting our community. Please encourage others to do the same.”

All Kaua‘i residents age 16 and older can make appointments now by visiting kauai.gov/vaccine.

Vaccination appointments are available this week at Longs, Safeway, and Walmart, the Kaiser clinic in Lihue, Mahelona, KVMH, and Wilcox hospitals, Ho’ola Lahui Clinics, and the Department of Health clinic at the Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall. Please make your appointment soon, as the Department of Health clinic will close for first-dose appointments after the Thursday April 29 clinic.

If you are 60 or older or need English language assistance, walk-in first-dose vaccinations will be available at the Convention Hall this week only: Tuesday, April 27, Wednesday, April 28, or Thursday April 29, from 9 to 11 a.m. Multi-lingual staff will be there in person to assist you.

Information on COVID-19 vaccine for County of Kauai.

--Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office announces two cases of COVID-19 on April 6--

LĪHU‘E – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported two new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, April 6.

Today’s cases are both visitors whose source of infection is related to mainland travel. Tuesday’s cases were identified via the Enhanced Movement Quarantine or “Resort Bubble” post-travel test program. Contacts are being identified, directed to quarantine, and offered testing.

“A single pre-travel test cannot prevent all travel-related cases,” said Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami. “The County of Kaua‘i is following CDC recommended guidance and is working closely with travel industry partners to strongly encourage travelers to be tested 72 hours after their arrival.”

As the county re-joins the Safe Travel program, some travel-related cases are likely to go undetected. Following safe practices such as mask-wearing, social distancing, washing hands, avoiding large gatherings, and staying home when you are sick are critical to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Vaccinations provide a substantial added layer of protection.

“The best way to protect the Kaua‘i community and maintain the safety we have experienced in recent months is for all residents 16 and older to be vaccinated as soon as possible,” said Kaua‘i District Health Officer Janet Berreman, MD. “Those who work with travelers can avoid missed workdays by being vaccinated. Close contacts who have been fully vaccinated are not subject to DOH quarantine. They can continue working as usual. All residents who come in contact with travelers should be vaccinated as soon as possible.”

Vaccination appointments are widely available. For details, visit Kauai.gov/vaccine. Those who plan to travel can protect themselves and their families by being fully vaccinated before traveling.

Today’s cases bring the number of active cases to nine, with 233 cumulative cases. Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count includes 198 confirmed locally, two probable, and 33 positive cases diagnosed elsewhere, as they received their pre-travel test results after arriving on island.

1 p.m., March 13, Update: Officials announce updates for Hanalei-Hā‘ena community

Multiple agencies are responding to continuing severe weather impacts including attending to the needs of our isolated Hanalei to Hā‘ena communities. Officials are announcing the following additional updates.

Kūhiō Highway closures on the North Shore will be maintained as officials continue to assess the damage, conduct debris removal, and stabilize the slopes. Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) officials anticipate the earliest possible estimation, weather depending, for single lane emergency access on Kūhiō Highway is early next week.

Current Road Closures:

• Both lanes of Kūhiō Highway, at the Hanalei Hill, approaching Hanalei Bridge, remain closed due to a landslide.
• Kūhiō Highway, between Kolopua Apartments and Hanalei Plantation Road, remains closed out of an abundance of caution. This is the road above the Hanalei Hill site. HDOT officials have installed systems to monitor any movement in the road.
• Kūhiō Highway near Hanalei Bridge’s vicinity is closed due to flooding.
• One lane of Kūhiō Highway at mile marker 4.5 near Waikoko is currently open to alternating traffic.
Weather Update: A Flash Flood Watch and Wind Advisory remains in effect for Kaua‘i. For weather updates, call the National Weather Service automated weather line at 245-6001, or visit the NWS website, www.weather.gov/hfo.

Refuse Service: Solid waste officials are currently unable to provide normal refuse collection service to households in the Hanalei to Hā‘ena areas, affected by the landslide. In anticipation of the County addressing immediate refuse needs once access to the area is established, residents in the impacted area are asked to start separating their putrescible waste so that the County can focus on initial removal of these items. Putrescible waste is solid waste that causes odors when decomposing such as food waste, animal waste, and diapers. This waste should be bagged and placed in County refuse carts. Other waste must also be bagged and set aside for future disposal efforts. We ask that residents also separate, secure, and hold their green waste, recyclables, and bulky waste until further notice, and use backyard composting bins to manage food waste as much as possible. We understand that residents have already filled their refuse carts with trash, and we are assuring all that solid waste needs are being prioritized. We continue to work on our waste removal plan for the near future and will provide updates as they develop. For questions, call 241-4841.
Additionally, solid waste officials announce that all green waste facilities will be closed over the weekend as heavy rains are expected to continue and conditions will likely remain saturated at the sites.

Postal Services: The U.S. Postal Service announces that the Hanalei Post Office located at 5-5226 Kūhiō Highway on the North Shore is temporarily closed due to the road closures. The office will reopen as soon as access is restored and it is safe to do so. While the office is closed, affected Hanalei PO Box customers can pick up their mail at the Kīlauea Post Office, located at 2585 Ala Namahana Parkway. Updates on mail services for affected Hanalei-Hā‘ena residents will be announced as more information is available.

Health and vaccine information: Individuals who have COVID-19 vaccine appointments will be able to reschedule them. If necessary, extra clinic dates will be added to accommodate them. CDC guidelines recommend receiving your second dose within 42 days of the first dose, but if that is not possible, appointments can still be scheduled later. It is never necessary to repeat the first dose.
If the highway cannot be reopened in a timely manner, the Department of Health will work with the County of Kaua‘i and healthcare partners to bring vaccine to the North Shore communities.

North Shore residents or visitors who have traveled off of Kaua‘i in the last 14 days and experience symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 are encouraged to isolate in their home or accommodation and to seek health care as needed. Travelers may contact the health department at (808) 241-3387 for further guidance.
Free mental health counseling is available to all Kaua‘i residents through WorkLife Hawai‘i. WorkLife Hawai‘i counselors are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling (808) 543-8445. These services are free and completely confidential.
Those with health insurance may also set up telehealth counseling with their providers.

Similarly, telehealth is a good option for anyone experiencing a health concern. North Shore residents are encouraged to access their usual health care providers by phone or online.
Food and Medical Supplies: Food supplies are available at stores and food pantries in the affected areas. The county continues to work on bringing in additional food and medical supplies for the community as needed.

Damage Assessments: The county is continuing to conduct assessments of storm-affected areas across the island. If your home suffered damages due to the March flooding, please visit www.kauai.gov/kema and click on the green link “March 2021 Rain Damage/Flood Reporting” to complete a form. The information you provide will help to gather necessary data which may be used to determine whether or not certain federal aid is made available to residents of Kaua‘i and/or the State of Hawai‘i. For assistance on how to fill out the form, you may call KEMA at 241-1800.
Power Outages: The Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) advises its Hanalei members that a scheduled outage began at 9 a.m. today. It was expected to last approximately 2 hours, but could be longer depending on weather conditions and other factors. The outage includes members in Ching Young Village up to Waikoko and will include members on Weke Road. The outage is necessary for crews to complete repairs related to an outage that occurred on Thursday, March 11.

The KIUC page will provide status reports, and the outage map on the homepage of the cooperative’s website is another resource for current information: www.kiuc.coop.
Water Services: Department of Water (DOW) also advises residents on water emergency preparedness and service advisories that may be issued during an emergency. For more preparedness tips and service announcements, visit www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW.
Stay Out of Standing Water: For the latest updates on brown water advisories, visit DOH’s Clean Water Branch website at http://health.hawaii.gov/cwb/. The public is advised to stay out of floodwaters and stormwater runoff due to possible overflowing cesspools, sewer, manholes, pesticides, animal f***l matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris. Do not allow children to play in floodwater areas. Continue to practice good personal hygiene by washing off with soap and clean water and washing hands before handling food.
