JAMM AQUINO / AUG. 26
A circle of relatives hears commands of a self-administered COVID-19 control in their vehicle on the first day of COVID-19 control on August 26 at Kaneohe.
The city has asked the federal government for an exception, but about 1,776 more people will have to retake the check due to a labeling error.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell had asked U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams and eTrueNorth to allow failed checks to be cleared, as the person’s non-public data is included in the kit, even if it wasn’t there. in the control tube.
Mia Palmieri Heck, Director of External Workplace Affairs, U.S. Department of Health’s Undersecretary of Health, andUsa, he said today in an email that it was not imaginable to authorize mislabeled evidence.
“This would be contrary to popular laboratory procedures; they will have to be able to validate each pattern by comparing the patient data in the vial with the data on the receipt.They can’t process patterns that don’t have data about the patient in the vial,” Heck said.
Heck said in an email sunday that the lab had already sent about 1,000 patients to realize that they had received an inconclusive result and informed them that they had to start verification again.In fact, Caldwell said today that there were 1,776 poorly labeled controls on the first day of verification, basically on the Kaneohe site and some on the Leeward Community College site.
Caldwell said today at a press conference in Honolulu Hale that the Honolulu Fire Department had not obtained the correct eTrueNorth commands, prompting the failure of control tubes in Kaneohe’s control to be labeled.
Caldwell said that since the discovery of the problem, the city has ensured that the first initial, call and date of birth are registered in the control tubes at the following locations.
Those with failed checks will receive a momentary email to plan a follow-up check that doesn’t require them to wait in a long line, he said.Others who want to sign up for a check can move on to doiwantacovid19check.com.

Caldwell said he and Gov. David Ige asked for 30,000 more tests and received it with six more days of federal support.
Caldwell said he hoped the challenge on the first day wouldn’t deter Oahu citizens from getting tested.
“I think each and every one needs to be controlled. Finding out where the virus is and where it is not very effective in controlling the virus,” Caldwell said. “These are surveillance checks; each and every one that comes in and gets checked can. I hope at least 1/10 of the entire population of Oahu gets checked. I need to use each and every last check, the 90,000 of They should be used and then we have to use this data to fight this virus and go out to a bigger place. “
The tests, which began Wednesday, are part of a federally funded initiative that Caldwell, Adams and Ige announced Tuesday.Some 5,000 loose tests consistent with the day were presented to Oahu residents, up to 60,000 over a consistent period of approximately two weeks.The concept of the federally funded augmentation testing program, which has taken a position in 8 states, is to help leaders in high-risk communities identify where the virus is so they can take steps to lower positivity rates and facilitate hospitalizations.
On Saturday, Heck said 2,451 other people who had undergone overvoltage tests in Honolulu had earned their results, of which 27, or just over 1%, had tested positive and 2,424 negatives, he said.
Heck has so far stated that none of the other states have had labeling disorders like what happened in Honolulu.Earlier this morning, Heck stated that 37,765 receipts had been generated for the check program.However, he warned that other people would cancel or fail.to take the checks.
