“The majority of states in our country continue to see an increase of large numbers of people being infected by the virus,” the Sunday message from civil defense officials stated. “Numbers also show an increase of people being admitted to hospitals.

“You are asked to do your part in keeping Hawaii safe,” civil defense said. “As you enjoy the get-togethers do take extra care in protecting yourself, your family, your friends, and your community.”
