The Department of Health is investigating several clusters tied to small gatherings.
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A new report released by the Hawaii Department of Health on Thursday shows clusters stemming from small social gatherings.
Acting state epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Kemble says just because the size of a gathering is small, doesn’t mean it’s safe. She said in several of the cases, masks were frequently removed to eat and drink.
Kemble says proper mask wearing and physical distancing is still a must.
