Last update: 7 hours agoPublic Health Alert: Hawai‘i DOH reported a new travel-related dengue virus case on Oʻahu involving a visitor; it’s not counted in the state total because the person is a nonresident, is no longer in Hawai‘i, and was not considered infectious at departure, with officials saying the expected risk of local spread is low. Mosquito Control Reminder: DOH teams are conducting inspections and outreach and urging residents to remove standing water (from buckets, containers, planters, rain barrels and even cups) and take bite-prevention steps like repellent and long sleeves. Palau Health Policy: Palau made a historic move by formally asking the UN to place nicotine under international drug control review, arguing current rules don’t keep up with evolving nicotine products and that the addictive substance needs stronger global oversight. Cancer Care Innovation: Poolbeg Pharma is preparing a trial of an oral drug aimed at preventing cytokine release syndrome, a dangerous side effect of cancer immunotherapies, with first data expected this summer. Local Food & Wellness: Palau taro flour is expanding beyond the island, debuting at Beauty World Japan 2026 and returning for local showcase at the Palau Development Symposium.
