Green posted on Instagram this morning, ahead of the Department of Health’s daily midday update, that the 485 cases included 315 on Oahu, 101 on the Big Island, 42 in Maui County and nine on Kauai.Green did not say but the other 18 cases are presumably Hawaii residents diagnosed outside the state.
The latest numbers come a day after the state reported a record 622 new infections, a combination of the highly contagious delta variant and a backlog of uncounted cases from earlier this week due to a problem with laboratory testing results.
