HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Hilo veterans home that was the site of Hawaii’s deadliest COVID-19 outbreak has been assessed a $510,000 civil penalty for infection control deficiencies.
Some 35 staff and 71 residents at the Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home contracted coronavirus during the fall. In all, 27 residents died.
The state, which took over management of the home on Jan. 1, announced the penalty.
It said unannounced visits in October determined the home was not in compliance with infection control protocols.
