**The state Department of Health says “using cases reported in the past 14 days provides a rough approximation of the number of cases currently meeting criteria for isolation. This proxy number for “active cases” resolves classification issues for cases unable to be reached or who are out of jurisdiction, for whom precise release from isolation date may not be possible to determine. It is also not influenced by lags in data entry.”

There are eight COVID-19 clusters identified in Maui County, according to an updated report issued on Thursday, Feb. 11. This included: one cluster at a correctional facility, one cluster at a food supplier, two at restaurants, one in construction/industrial, one in travel/lodging/tourism, and two in apartment complexes. The cluster at the Maui Community Correctional Center was last listed at 20 cases involving inmates.

In Maui County, cases with onset in the last 14 days have been in all areas of Maui except the East Maui town of Hāna, according to DOH mapping.

The island of Molokaʻi was added back to the active map on Feb. 11, with a single new case reported, bringing the island wide total to 26.

As of Nov. 21, Lāna‘i’s case load lightened to 0 cases reported within the last 14 days, out of a total 108 reported over the course of the pandemic. On Lānaʻi, 105 of the 108 total infections are associated with the outbreak, first reported on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020. Large social gatherings and household transmission have been identified as the main drivers of this outbreak. A safer-at-home order concluded on Nov. 30, 2020, and the island returned to an act-with-care status as of Dec. 1, 2020. Lānaʻi had new cases reported on Jan. 28, and Feb. 5 and 6, 2021.

The state Department of Health counts visitors that are diagnosed here – they don’t count visitors that were diagnosed outside of Hawaiʻi. For residents, the DOH counts both: those that are diagnosed outside of Hawaiʻi are counted under the category, “Residents diagnosed outside of Hawaiʻi.”

The volunteer post-arrival testing is for both returning residents and visitors. For this testing, the county asks people to test about 72 hours after arrival as a secondary or “sandwich” test to their pre-arrival testing.

As of Feb. 11, 2021, this program has deployed 22,082 tests with 475 testing positive for COVID-19 (including Harbor Lights testing). The voluntary testing positivity rate is 2.15 percent.
