People entering Hawaii must self-quarantine for 14 days, governor says

Calling it an “extreme action,” Hawaii Gov. David Ige (D) announced that, effective Thursday, all visitors and returning residents must self-quarantine for 14 days — a first among states during the novel coronavirus crisis.

“We want this action to send the message to visitors and residents alike that we appreciate their love for Hawaii,” Ige said, “but we are asking them to postpone their visit.”

The move would not apply to flight crews, emergency responders and other essential workers, Ige said. Violators would face a $5,000 fine and one year in jail.

State officials announced Saturday that 48 people have tested positive for the virus in the state, a sevenfold increase since last weekend. Three have been hospitalized, the state said, but no one has died.

“We have been talking about community spread for a long time,” said Bruce Anderson, director of Hawaii’s health department. “It’s beginning. It’s starting.”
