I was in Hawaii a month ago.
At the time they only had 1 case of Corona on Maui, where we were staying. The day after we got there the Governor issued an order to not come to Hawaii, for 30 days, and if you chose to come anyway, you'd have to undergo a 14 Day mandatory Quarantine. And if you violated the quarantine order you were subject to a $5k fine and up to a year in jail. They also shut down all the State Parks and Beaches and imposed a Stay At Home Order.
The next day the Mayor of Maui shut down the remainder of the Beaches and parks.
Now there is a Curfew and if you violate the Stay At Home order to go out for a non-essential purpose, they stop you at a periodic road black, write you a ticket and/or arrest you.
"Other rule changes that started 11 p.m. Friday include:
— Only allowing two members of a household to leave home for essential activities, unless other household members absolutely cannot be left home alone, such as young children, elderly and people with disabilities.
— Requiring businesses to limit entrance to two people from one household, unless other household members absolutely must accompany them.
— Requiring essential businesses with employees that have direct public contact or handle food to wear a mask or other face covering. Employers also shall allow employees to voluntarily wear masks or face coverings.
— Only allowing bed and breakfast homes and short-term rental homes to operate as housing for essential workers.
A violation of the emergency rules is a misdemeanor carrying a penalty of up to one year in jail and up to a $5,000 fine. Those cited are given a date to appear in court."
