Inmate Population Clear of COVID, Statewide Testing Continues
COVID-19 testing is continuously being conducted statewide at all facilities. The inmate population at all facilities is currently clear of active COVID-19 cases.

Tests are pending at the Hawai‘i Community Correctional Center (HCCC). No HCCC inmates have reported symptoms but as a precaution, the facility has enacted their pandemic protocol to quarantine the facility and suspend all inmate movement after an HCCC employee reported testing positive yesterday. Facility health care staff and DOH have initiated contact tracing and testing with the assistance of Premier Medical Group. The facility sanitized the spaces where the employee worked.
