Hawaii is reporting 10 new cases of coronavirus, bringing the statewide total to 26. It’s the highest one-day total since the pandemic started.
Complicating matters, authorities were releasing different statistics.
The Health Department initially said six new cases had been confirmed, but later revised the figure after Lt. Gov. Josh Green put the increase in the double digits.
Meanwhile Thursday, officials announced that state Sen. Clarence Nishihara had tested positive for the virus. It’s the first confirmed case linked to the state Capitol building, and prompted office closures.
And Tripler Army Medical Center also announced the first case linked to Hawaii’s Army community, saying an employee at the hospital tested positive Wednesday after returning from a trip to New York and developing symptoms. The employee is in self-isolation at home and undergoing monitoring.
Of the 10 new cases, eight are on Oahu and two are on Maui. The two Maui cases are residents who recently traveled to Europe, county officials said.
The widening spread of the virus comes amid growing calls to do more to shut down the state to visitors and keep all but essential workers at home.
