HONOLULU — Hawaii reported 1,511 new coronavirus cases Thursday as state officials say the omicron variant is likely spreading widely throughout the islands. Hawaii Department of Health Director Dr. Libby Char said at a news conference Thursday that people need to get vaccinated, noting that more than 370,000 Hawaii residents have not gotten their shots. “With this rapid rise in cases, we can assume that the omicron variant is on Kauai,” said the state Department of Health’s district officer for Kauai, Dr. Janet Berreman, in a statement. “We’re not going to impose anymore restrictions,” said Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi, who said the island’s vaccination and testing policy for businesses and events is sufficient.
