TESTING FOR THE NEW CORONAVIRUS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE in Hawaiʻi,
possibly within a week, reports the state Department of Health. The federal
government has given state government laboratories permission to conduct tests
developed by its Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The green light
comes after the origin of a case in California
could not be tracked down. Test kits from CDC are expected to arrive in Hawaiʻi
soon.

YOUNG AMBASSADOR FOR NĀʻĀLEHU SENIOR HOUSING WILL BE ON LITTLE BIG SHOTS this Sunday, according to the promotion for the NBC television show. Ocean View's tiny hula dancer, "Hunnay" Rhyan Faith Anoʻi Demello, traveled to Los Angeles earlier this year to film the show, with host Melissa McCarthy. It features talented young children, many of them with a special focus on helping other people. The show with Hunnay will be aired in Hawaiʻi this Sunday at 7 p.m. on NBC.
Hunnay was a star at ʻO Kaʻū Kākou's Nāʻālehu Market on Wednesday and attends when she can, to bring attention for the need for senior housing, planned for the land where the market is open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Donate to her GoFundMe at hunnay039s-campaign-for-community.

MAUNA LOA VOLCANO is not erupting. The mauna's Volcano Alert Level is ADVISORY, Aviation Code is YELLOW. Rates of deformation and seismicity have not changed significantly over the past week and remain above long-term background levels.
During the past week, HVO seismometers recorded about 80 small-magnitude earthquakes beneath the volcano's upper elevations. The strongest was a magnitude-2.9 event beneath the summit region in the early morning hours of February 27. Most events occurred at shallow depths of less than 5 kilometers (~3 miles) beneath the surface of the summit and upper flanks of the volcano.
Global Positioning System measurements show continued slow summit inflation, consistent with magma supply to the volcano's shallow storage system.
Gas concentrations at the Sulphur Cone monitoring site on the Southwest Rift Zone remain stable. Fumarole temperatures as measured at both Sulphur Cone and the summit have not changed significantly.
For more information on current monitoring of Mauna Loa Volcano, see volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mauna_loa/monitoring_summary.html.
