On 8/2/2020, the Hawai‘i Department of Health reported 45 new positive cases. One of the cases is on Maui and 44 cases are on O‘ahu for a cumulative total of 2,242 cases statewide (reported since 2/28/2020). Due to a delay in laboratory reporting, today’s number is not an accurate or complete report of all positive cases.

Based on incomplete data received, a total of 127,279 individuals have been tested in the state. (638 new tests)

45/638 = 7.1% positive (this higher positive percentage reflects faster-turnaround priority in-state tests)
