On 10/24/2020, the Hawai‘i Department of Health reported 90 new positive cases. There are two cases on Maui, 14 on Lāna‘i, 16 on Hawai‘i Island, and 58 on O‘ahu for a cumulative total of 14,553 cases statewide (reported since 2/28/2020). One previous case was removed due to updated laboratory information.

A total of 500,456 tests have been performed and results received for the state.

(4,163 new tests by subtraction**)

(3,790 neg + 83 pos = 3,873 new tests per dashboard.) 

NOTE: Per DoH, dashboard test numbers are distributed by the date the test was performed, not the date result was reported.  Additional results will be added to each day's dashboard total over then next few days as late test results trickle in.  Subtraction method includes tests and new cases from tests performed prior to today.

83 / 3,873 = 2.1% positive (dashboard)

90 / 4,163 = 2.2% positive (subtraction**)
