The Latest: 134 New Cases; Caldwell Expresses Concern On Oʻahu's COVID Spike

Updated 12/21/20, 11:55 a.m.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell is repeating his request that inmate coronavirus cases not be included in Oʻahu's case count numbers.
The latest state Department of Health report adds one new death, and a total of 204 new infections statewide. 180 of those new cases were on Oʻahu.
During a Sunday press conference, Caldwell said DOH officials have unofficially told him that as many as 93 of the latest cases may have come from Halawa Correctional Facility. 
Last week, Caldwell asked Governor David Ige to remove infected prisoners from the city's daily case tally. Caldwell says he recently discussed his request to Ige, but noted that the prison outbreak still has an impact on Oʻahu's healthcare system.
