The state Department of Health on Sunday reported one new COVID-19 case on Oahu, bringing the statewide case total to 632.

Of the cases statewide, nearly 90% — or 561 people — have recovered and been released from isolation, according to the department.

On Hawaii Island, 74 people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus since Feb. 28. Just one person remained in isolation as of Sunday, according to the department. One person has required hospitalization.

Case totals for Oahu increased to at 408 while Maui and Kauai counties remained at 117 and 21, respectively.

Ten of the cases are Hawaii residents diagnosed outside the state of Hawaii.

Statewide, the coronavirus-related death toll stands at 17 — 11 on Oahu and six on Maui.

Hawaii has been under a statewide stay-at-home order since the last week of March to slow the spread of the disease. Since the same week, it has also been requiring all those arriving in the state and traveling between the islands to observe 14 days of quarantine. The order remains in effect through the end of May.
