In Hawaii, the state hit its highest daily case count on Saturday, with 73 new cases, 68 on O’ahu and 5 in Maui County. On Sunday morning, State Health District Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang on Maui said some of the Maui cases were related to gatherings–as Dr. Bruce Anderson and Dr. Sarah Park, State Health Director and State Epidemiologist, said about cases on O’ahu. The only way to stop this spread is for people to be responsible and follow the well-known health guidelines of social distancing and mask-wearing, plus frequent hand washing.
