Hawaii is reporting three new COVID-19 cases Thursday — all on Oahu.

It’s a slight uptick in cases that comes two weeks after retailers reopened on the island, and after a week-long streak of zero new cases.

The three new positives bring the statewide total to 647.

Meanwhile, 604 people statewide have been released from isolation, while at least 83 required hospitalization. Seventeen people in Hawaii have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic began.

Some water parks, campgrounds and open markets can reopen Oahu. Plus, some vacation rentals had business last month, but it was nothing near normal.
