The Mayor of Kaua’i is requiring all non residents to get daily permits to use the county beaches. The permits are $10 a day per person and $50 per day parking permit! There will only be 100 permits per day. In the release the mayor makes it very clear that while the residents are practicing social distancing it is the non-residents (read visitors) that are not social distancing and this will fix that.
Plus it will help the islanders with their “mental health” during these stressful times.
Kaua’i has an active campaign going to discourage visitors from coming to the island, which I understand, but this seems a bit radical. The mayor needs to be reminded that the third case of the virus came from one of their own who had returned from a trip to New York.
It is bad enough that there were islanders at the Kukui’ula traffic circles holding signs that say “Visitors Go Home.” We have a convertible and some guy was riding by us and told us to go home. We have been here for three weeks, well outside any quarantine period and are here for another two weeks and were thinking about extending for two more weeks beyond that because we feel safer here than in Minnesota. Now we are not too sure.
