För några dagar sedan kollade vi på Hawaii. Där levde man livets glada dagar medans smittan började ta fart på fastlandet i Usa. Man hade då 37 fall när man surfade och badade på denna ö. På några dagar har nu antal smittade stigit till 77 fall. Guvernören David Ige fick till slut bita i det sura äpplet och ställa in sig i ledet. Även denna fristad blev rammad. Så här låter det nu.

Statewide Order by Hawaii Governor David Ige
Today, Hawaii Governor David Ige issued a third supplemental proclamation - a stay at home order - between 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 and 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2020.
All persons within the State of Hawaii are ordered to stay at home or in their place of residence, such as hotels or condominiums. Individuals may leave only for essential activities or to engage in essential businesses and operations. Click here to view the order.
Beginning Thursday, March 26, 2020, 12:01 a.m., all individuals, both residents and visitors, arriving or returning to the State of Hawaii will be subject to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine. The mandate -- the first such action in the nation -- applies to all arrivals at state airports from the continental U.S. and international destinations and extends to other private and commercial aircrafts.

“With the majority of Hawaii’s COVID-19 cases linked to travel, it is critical that we further mitigate the spread of the virus by both residents and visitors who are coming from out-of-state,” said Gov. Ige. “This plan was developed in collaboration with our county mayors and Hawaii’s business, community and visitor industry leaders.”
During a press conference he stated, “We want this action to send a message to visitors and residents alike that we appreciate their love for Hawaii but at this time we believe our community is very important and we need to come together to fight this virus. We are asking them to postpone their visits to our island community. We know that our economy will suffer from this action but we truly appreciate the cooperation we’ve received from our hospitality industry to understand that these actions are necessary. We believe it will help us to flatten the curve and need everyone to comply with these quarantine orders because the safety and welfare of the people of Hawaii is our number one priority.”
All visitors and residents arriving through Hawaii’s airports will be required to complete a Hawaii Department of Agriculture form that will be distributed onboard their flight. They will retain the form when disembarking the aircraft. Upon arrival, they will go through a checkpoint and present the completed form with a valid identification. Checkpoint staff will validate the form and issue documentation that certifies they cleared the checkpoint. The form also includes information on the mandatory requirements for the 14-day quarantine along with penalties.
“We are also directing the following actions: social gatherings should be limited to groups of no more than 10 following the CDC’s guidelines. All bars and clubs should be closed. Restaurants should adjust their operations to pivot to drive-thru, take-out, pick-up or delivery services only. Closures of theaters, entertainment centers, and visitor attractions should commence. We encourage everyone to avoid any discretionary travel.”
