COVID-19 Update for May 2026

We'll see how this goes monthly - unless things start to look worrisome again. (Let's hope not!)

29 cases this past week: 24 on Oahu, 2 in Maui County, 1 on Hawaii Island, and 2 on Kauai.

7-day positivity rate is 0.7%

2 in the hospital and 0 in ICU

No surprise: things are looking pretty good. There's usually some sort of summer uptick, but those have been getting milder every year.

Stay safe everybody!
