Mass Inmate Testing Continues
Surge testing at Waiawa Correctional Facility (WCF) is ongoing. The facility health care staff have reported 48 of the 162 positive inmate cases have recovered and that one (1) inmate has been hospitalized. The number of WCF staff who reported active positive cases remains unchanged at 11. DOH is conducting contact tracing. All WCF staff are in full personal protective equipment (PPE) and the warden previously halted all inmate movement to prevent further transmission within the facility and to the other facilities.
