My guess is that the resort or hotel will be required to install a fence on the resort or hotel property blocking off access to the beach or public walks next to the beach. There may be a requirement to have indoor space of sufficient size to receive and care for people that become positive with COVID-19. I think the hotels with convention/seminar space would be more suited for this. I guess the wrist bands may remove the need for the fence.

I saw something in another thread that had the text of the order that supposedly would allow the bubble concept. As I read it, each resort that chooses to do a bubble would be able to allow their quarantining bubble guests to use the beach in front of the resort as long as they blocked access to that section for those outside of the bubble.

A property would need a small police force to accomplish this.

I'm just responding to the negative HNL chatter in this thread. I live/d there, FT since 1995. In town, high rise, near the University. Yes, crime has risen here, but it was rising BEFORE the pandemic. It is still far safer than many other cities.

The pandemic has done a number on our economy. Yet, despite this (and my H and son are employed in the restaurant industry) for some of us it has been pleasant to not have the throngs of tourists, leaving us to enjoy things ourselves. That is, when it has been possible. We've spent more time locked down on Oahu than not.

I fear the influx of tourists from places that do not respect mask-wearing, as the entire state has a mask in public mandate. Even still, as they just opened inter-island again, we are going to WORKV Nov 15-22 on a trade. We traded for a BI island resort via RCI in July, when only II travel was possible and without COVID testing. This time, we must do the same testing as those of you coming from the mainland. We also have the same fears that any individual mayor can shut their county down and disrupt travel plans if they see their own county's case numbers rise.

It's still a wonderful place to live, even with a bad economy, even with masks, even with increases in crime, and even with the highest unemployment in eons. It's Hawaii. People are not walking around with guns ready to shoot their neighbor over a political protest. :) Aloha to all. Enjoy your trip here, if you get to come.
