Dear BOH,
Please help. We have a family trip scheduled for mid-late December. We’ll have a total of 16 adults and children in our group. We will all be staying in the same family/residential unit at the same address in Kona. It would seem that based upon the current “Social Gathering Limits” in the County of Hawaii our group would be exempt from the 10 individual indoor and outdoor gathering limit, i.,e., “Members of a single residential or family unit who share the same address are not restricted”. It would also seem that since we are not so restricted we could, as a group, visit a beach or park together as long as we maintain proper social distancing from other groups. The county says groups using parks and rec. facilities must maintain 20 feet between groups. Finally, if we did maintain proper social distancing between our group and other groups or individuals, would we have to wear masks? The guidance from the State and County would imply that we wouldn’t as long as proper social distancing was maintained. The State’s and County’s FAQ’s don’t seem to address single residence group situations like ours. Any advice you could give us would greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Bob
Hi Bob.
A couple of thoughts. The first is to contact the health department for the Big Island for definitive answers. Second, masks aren’t required outdoors. We hope it goes well.
Aloha.
Dear BOH,
I did call the County of Hawaii’s Department of Civil Defense with my questions. While our group is exempt from the county’s indoor group limit we do have to comply with the outdoor group limit of 10. I was told that if we all went to the beach together, we should separate into groups of 10 or less and social distance at 6’ between groups. To quote the person I spoke to, “As long as you don’t look like a group of 16 you won’t have a problem.” That seems doable. Regarding the at sea memorial service for my father, because we are all living at the same address we don’t meet the social gathering definition. We can all participate in the service.
Thank you for your help.
Hi Bob.
Thanks for letting us and everyone else know. Much appreciated. We’re sorry to learn about your loss.
Aloha.
I just watched a video of Honolulu mayor yelling at a constituent outside the capital protesting mandates. It was very disappointing to see a person of leadership behaving that way. People are peacefully protesting and it was not a good look for the mayor.
Thank you for the information. How can one be tested for Covid when the developer of the test said it was faulty and not intended as a diagnostic tool?
According to the Canadian government, they were never able to provide proof in court that the Covid strain was isolated. All mask & test mandates were dropped since they could not provide proof in Canada!
Since tests are 95%+ faulty and the strain has never been isolated, it is very misleading on the unaware public to continue with false propaganda.
There can be no vaccine (experimental injection) if there was never a proven isolated strain.
Ppl are awakening to the propaganda that is injuring our children. Masks don’t work since the supposed virus is smaller than the masks. It’s like a mosquito flying through a chain link fence. Wise up or be removed. The government works for the ppl.
Wow, where are you all flocking in from? This used to be a site dedicated to Hawaiian travel not FB “medical” advice. Sad days, indeed.
An island state has a unique advantage to control the spread of Covid. Hawaii does not have infected people driving into their state. Please require pre-arrival testing of everyone coming onto the islands…. vaccinated, non-vaccinated, and Hawaii residents returning home to Hawaii. Viruses are not flying over the ocean on their own to enter Hawaii.
This sounds like freedom lost. Read the Constitution. Many have lost their lives for this Republic and for our freedom. If children were not indoctrinated in school and taught how great these United State were, the sick would stay home like all flu viruses until they were better.
Civics needs to be taught in school again so the citizens understand how our government is supposed to work.
The ppl employ the government not the other way around.
CDC also admits this. Meaning they actually conclude nothing significant in healthy people only in those that are ill and have signs of illness. Meaning 90% of “Cases” are false and just spread unnecessary fear. Clearly also fooling all the Officials making all these MANDATES and creating mega chaos for Hawaii’s economy.
Lets stop testing unless there comes a new test to the awareness that does actually test for the Delta Variant bcause the Covid 19 is already obsolete. Lets all follow the science like is repeated by all but only a few do understand. Out side wearing a mask is absolutely not needed as the humidity and sunshine kills all viruses and many bacteria, per the science.
Mahalo
