The Kauai Mayor just yesterday decreed (with Pop’s approval), a $250 fine for anyone who gets caught in violation of any of his COVD rules (indoor masks, group size limits, restaurant-bar at 50% capacity) and $500 fines for the business or “organizer”.
“Those with the county’s Department of Liquor Control, Department of Parks & Recreation park rangers and Kaua‘i Police Department officers have the authority to enforce the rule.”
This was met with some colorful language by the bartender/manager at the place we were having dinner last night, because he and his staff are put in the no-fun position to try and police these things to avoid the $500 fine, all while being short staffed and trying to make a living. If-when these vax passports become implemented on Kauai, it may be easier on the staff if they are accompanied with not having to police who can sit where (who came in with whom) and whether someone’s face rag fell below their nose for a moment, or was removed slightly before ate/drank. We were very careful to meet our friends outside so we could enter together as a group, and to always have a drink in progress.
OT – It is absolutely gorgeous here; weather is perfect. air is crystal clear. The only rain (so far) has been brief and when it’s dark outside. Robust trade winds. LOTS of people out on the local beach today. Residents and (mostly) tourists alike. Labor day weekend is popular time at Haena beach park, fishing, BBQ, etc. For you COVID paranoids, sorry to tell you, no masks out on the beach or in the park that I could see, which would be the ultimate virtue signaling in these strong trades.
