During Covid 19 prevention methods. I am noticed that all leader from different departments and Mayor or Government didn’t do a good job and gave out some restrictions with no sense
We are planning to fly to Kauai on Nov 5.
Can you explain to me what the current requirements to enter Kauai will be on that date?
Worst case scenario, if we have to undergo a 2 week quarantine, we will stay in our condo, but we permitted to go masked to the store to buy provisions? Will we be allowed to rent a car? How can the police determine if someone driving on the
road is supposed to be strictly quarantined in our condo? What will be the penalty if we somehow innocently violate the quarantine order? A warning? A fine? Deportation? Please let us know.
Can you again summarize what the current Kauai Policy is? Is it exceeding a weekly average of number of cases, or a single day exceeding 4 new cases?
Hi RH.
Should you be in quarantine, which we would not recommend, you can’t stay in a vacation rental, cannot rent a car, and can’t go to buy provisions. Penalties can be severe, up to $5,000 or jail, but who knows if that would be enforced. Bottom line, avoid quarantine. Policy is so long as there is an average of under 5 active cases on island, everything remains as it is. If there are more, new arrivals could be stopped.
Aloha.
Aloha.
I’ve read that only visitors need to wear masks. If they are truly concerned about safety, I don’t understand why they would relax these requirements for residents. If someone is carrying C-19, masks will only do so much and if a local gets it, it could spread rapidly through the islands.
Plus, for those tourists that are concerned about contracting the virus, it won’t instill much comfort when you are around residents that are not following protocol.
Thank you for sharing this video. I must agree, the message it conveys is that of confusion. Perhaps what they’re expecting is for visitors to strictly adhear to the mask requirements, but locals are free to choose whether or not to wear one. I recall that when the lock down took place in Hawaii from international and main land travel, Covid continued to spread amongst the islands. Yet, I feel that the tourists that keep them in business are snubbed and looked down apon as second class citizens spreading the plegue.
I went to Maui in 2018, but sadly our trip was disrupted by hurricane Lane. My hopes to go back soon were so high, but now with all the restrictions, I’m not so sure the Aloha spirit will be as authentic. For the sake of all the small businesses, I hope Hawaii’s leaders let up on all the micromanaging.
Hi Carmen.
Thanks. We hope you can return to Maui.
Aloha.
What confuses me is no one is wearing a mask while the video is promoting it. You really need to redo it and have everyone covered. People’s mentality is they are on vacation they don’t think they need it.
The world’s best choice Hawaii
Hi Guys
I know you saw this as of late yesterday there’s 20 new cases of covid on Lanai and they’re expecting the number to rise rapidly possibly 10 percent of the population is infected. From what I’ve read they’re trying to link it to some one who traveled off island.
Oh boy not good news if you’re on the islands be careful wear your mask tensions are really going to rise after this outbreak.
Did you notice you viedo has many natives with no masks?, you going to confuse potential tourists. Duh!
Yes, great point. Thank you.
Definitely unclear as to mask policy. Need to confirm whether when out and about anywhere or just certain areas.
Plans on visiting next yr. Would appreciate clearer policy on masks.
I just watched the new informational video. It does seem to send a mixed message and not cover (no pun intended) everything. No mention of wearing masks in shops etc. Thank you.
Hi Kym.
Thanks, also for the levity.
Aloha.
