Hawaii's swine flu tally rises by 33 cases
By Star-Bulletin staff
POSTED: 10:52 a.m. HST, Jun 03, 2009
The state’s tally of confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza (swine flu) rose by 33 since Friday, state Health Department officials said today.
All the new cases are on Oahu and have recovered or are recovering at home with no complications, officials said. No further information was immediately available. Previously, state health officials said that all Hawaii cases have been mild.
The number brings the total Hawaii cases to 115 since the first three were confirmed May 5. All cases are on Oahu but three. The Big Island had two cases and a Maui resident became ill and was briefly hospitalized with the influenza on the mainland.
The Health Department was reporting confirmed cases daily but this week began issuing reports only on Wednesdays on its web site.
A department spokeswoman said the change to weekly reports was made “to ease the burden on the staff,” and to stress prevention measures rather than the outbreak numbers.
