HONOLULU — Hawaii’s governor says the state’s high COVID-19 vaccination rate means there will not be another full-scale shutdown.
Gov. David Ige tells the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that doesn’t mean there won’t be more restrictions put in place if hospitalization rates increase or more people are moved to intensive care units.
Ige says there are signs the recent surge in cases is abating and the rate of people being hospitalized for COVID-19 is stable.
The state’s seven-day average for new cases is 567, a 37% drop from two weeks ago. The number of people hospitalized or in the ICU has slightly dropped as well.
Nearly 77% of Hawaii’s eligible population is fully vaccinated and just over 86% has received at least one shot.
