The CD map of Dengue cases on the island has been updated. It says as of 11/30. Over the last map, which was dated 11/20, it appears that the growing numbers of confirmed cases we are getting daily represent more of an expansion of the already established clusters verses spreading out into other areas of the island. There are however new cases (seen in yellow indicating they are under investigation) in areas between the clusters but their numbers are lower than the growth rate of both suspected and confirmed cases that appear to be occurring where there already are known cases. And although Kona is still the largest concentration of the disease, Puna is not insignificant.
The CD maps is available on their alert page at:

IMO the most significant point, from a comparison of the 11/20 and the 11/30 maps, is the number of suspected cases that came up as confirmed negative.
