Sunday, October 25, 2020: CIVIL DEFENSE MESSAGE:

Sunday, October 25, 2020:

CIVIL DEFENSE MESSAGE: "...the high numbers we are experiencing are concentrated in housing areas in North Kona and South Hilo Districts. These numbers reflect the ongoing testing policies to identify clusters of positive cases so they can be isolated and treated to prevent the spread of the virus.

The County will continue to identify and expand testing in areas based on known or suspected clusters. Please know the importance of getting tested.

Thank you for your cooperation in supporting the testing programs; you can make a difference. On testing for tomorrow, Monday, a district test, which is open to the public, is scheduled for North Kona at the Keauhou Shopping Center in Kona.

Know that the preventive measures of face coverings, distancing, and gatherings are critical to stop the spread of the virus and are mandated by law and will be enforced by the Hawaii Police Department. Please accept this kuleana to protect our family, friends and community to make Hawaii Safe.”
