Today, City and County of Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell held a press conference and said there are at least 47 cases among city employees, including 10 identified at Honolulu Hale (ie City Hall) and is asking workers to stay home and asking community members to stay away unless they have to make necessary payments. Caldwell said Premier Medical Group is conducting testing of city employees.
Gov. David Ige has reinstated a 14-day travel quarantine for anybody traveling to a neighbor island, but as of noon on Monday, there are no details on the State Department of Health travel website. On Sunday, Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim said Gov. Ige passed the responsibility to each county to work out details of who can be exempt from the quarantine and for quarantine tracking and he and his team were working on it Sunday and would be today. As of noon on Monday, the details are not yet posted on the Hawaii County Civil Defense COVID-19 update site. A mandatory travel form is required for all passengers traveling interisland; that information and the form are here.
