On Aug. 1, the state reported 45 new COVID-19 cases with the caveat that the numbers were not complete or accurate due to a delay in receiving data from Clinical Laboratories of Hawai’i, the private lab that processes most of the tests in the state.
The Hawaii health department said the delay was likely due to the modifications HHS made in the reporting system for COVID-19 data. The department advised the laboratory to provide manual data reporting until the technical issue is corrected.
