Hawaii Quarantine Extended to June 30th

[vol_90]

Still one of 3 rooms occupied (I believe) at Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club with 50 nights and counting. Remaining staff here is awesome as I pick up my Amazon orders. Going to be very quite through June 30th with everything closed at the resort. Looks like we are getting close to possibly opening up the beaches this weekend. Right now you can be in the grass area or in the lagoon but nothing can be put on the sand nor can kids play in the sand.

where did you hear that. I called today and the front disk said til May 31.

 

[rickandcindy23]

I heard 6/15. So this is news to me.

The Governor hasn’t extended anything yet. It’s being report that it will likely be extended but it has not been announced yet.

I just read an article that said June 30 but I can’t find anything linking to a government website. Nothing mentioned on the Gov or Lt. Gov sites yet either.

 

[StevenTing]

I think the extension might just be for Kauai and not for all of the islands.

It was a headline on the ABC KITV local news at 6PM tonight May 13th. Just wait and it will be confirmed online. Kauai opening up beaches on Saturday for a 2 week test. We were reminded today as we went snorkeling in the lagoon that no items can be put on the sand. Only grass area or in the water. A couple of kids maybe between 6 - 8 were told they could not play on the sand.

From today's Hawaii News Now.....Gov. David Ige said, in a livestream on Facebook. “Certainly, we will be extending the 14-day mandatory quarantine for all travel into the state till the end of June, but there are other businesses and activities … that are medium-risk activities that we’ll look at reopening.”

I really never understood the mechanics of how that 14 quarantine will end.
Let's say he truly ends extension to end of June.
Does that mean someone who arrives on June 30 is subject to 14 day quarantine, and someone who arrives Jul 1 has no quarantine, or would everyone no longer be quarantined as of July 1?
I would hope the latter.

And I wonder why Kauai is seeing the extension and not Oahu.

I thought the extension was extended to all of Hawaii.

As of right now, the mayor of Kauai has issued a 14 day quarantine till June 30 for his island.

The rest of the state is under a Statewide quarantine by Gov. Ige until May 30. But he will probably issue an extension of the quarantine to June 30. Though he has not done it yet.

Yes if you arrive on June 30 you have 14 day quarantine and persons arriving July 1 or later would be quarantine free. That is how the state treated the quarantine when first issued in March. This arriving the day before were fine and those arriving 12 hours later would be subject to 14 day quarantine.

Why do I keep reading that the 14 day quarantine has been extended to the end of June for all islands?

In the article you mentioned is correct, does not say quarantine has been extended. Article states that he WILL most likely extend the quarantine till June 30. He has not issued that order yet. Only the mayor of Kauai has done it to his island.

This is the sentence I was referring to:

"Hawaii’s governor, David Ige, said Thursday that the 14-day mandatory quarantine for all travel into the state will be extended until June 30. "

As you quote "will be" extended. It has NOT happened yet. He has not issued an order to extend the quarantine.

Okay, Well several news reporting papers and stations seem to think this will happen. And I also thought I had seen something posted on a thread here saying it was a done deal.

I guess you're looking for the words has been extended.

 

[frank808]

You are saying the 14 day quarantine expires on June 30. I am saying the official quarantine order expires on May 30. Though Governor Ige has stated that he will most likely extend the order to June 30.

Big difference in posting that the order has already been issued, when it has not been.

That is what I originally posted. Just trying to correct a misconception that the quarantine order is official. Only for the island of Kauai is there a 14 day mandatory quarantine order that expires on June 30.

Can't speak to June, but the current quarantine applies to anyone arriving on or before the last day. So, yes, if it works the same way, if you arrive June 30 you must quarantine, if you arrive July 1, you do not need to. Of course, enforcement will be a lot harder when by July 3 or 4 there are lots of people wondering around.

I expect that they'll keep the quarantine well past June 30, but start creating EXCEPTIONS to it. That is, unless they are able to create a block from flying over unless you'd meet an exception (i.e., a negative test within 24 hours, etc.). In that case they could get rid of the quarantine since there would be nobody TO quarantine.

Just heard it on the radio driving home. He did not mention what the quarantine end date is on the radio. The quarantine forninter island travel is in effect also.

It's still June 30th - on Friday the state legislature voted to fund monitoring equipment for the airports, and they said the earliest it would be available was 2 months - take that with a whole salt shaker of salt.

This gives them some time to ensure that they have their community spread eliminated, allow travel between islands, get businesses open, and get their ducks in order to start opening for tourism. I still think about the start of August they'll be allowing people to come in without quarantine in some manner.

Hawaii Island will finally open the beaches now that the two new active cases have been identified to be related to travel and not community spread. These were residents returning from the mainland and not visitors, the 14 day quarantine does have some merit:

Mayor Kim told Big Island Now Monday that several districts on the Big Island have gone three to four weeks since reporting an active case of coronavirus. Two new active cases of COVID-19 reported over the last few days slowed the decision to reopen beaches, which the counties of Honolulu and Maui began allowing Saturday.

Kim said that once he found out those cases were both linked to travel — one person who’d visited Los Angeles for a short time, and another who’d made several stops, including a stop in Los Angeles — he felt comfortable moving forward with the reopening of beaches islandwide.

“We had no active cases here prior to those two,” the mayor said. “You don’t want to take any risks.”

And what likely occurred but isn't mentioned is that they quickly traced those two people's contacts, tested them and advised they quarantine, and if anyone tested positive they traced that person's contacts and did the same. In other words, virus was brought in, found, tested, traced and contained. That will be the exercise over and over if/when tourism comes. By testing before flying, the volume of that should remain quite small (limited to false negatives) and easily manageable.
