Gov. David Y. Ige issued a second supplemental emergency proclamation ordering all individuals, both residents and visitors, arriving or returning to the State of Hawaiʻi to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine. The mandate — the first such action in the nation — applies to all arrivals at state airports from the continental U.S. and international destinations and extends to other private and commercial aircrafts.

“With the majority of Hawaiʻi’s COVID-19 cases linked to travel, it is critical that we further mitigate the spread of the virus by both residents and visitors who are coming from out-of-state,” said Gov. Ige. “This plan was developed in collaboration with our county mayors and Hawaiʻi’s business, community and visitor industry leaders.”

All visitors and residents arriving through Hawaiʻi’s airports will be required to complete a Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture form that will be distributed onboard their flight. They will retain the form when disembarking the aircraft. Upon arrival, they will go through a checkpoint and present the completed form with a valid identification. Checkpoint staff will validate the form and issue documentation that certifies they cleared the checkpoint. The form also includes information on the mandatory requirements for the 14-day quarantine along with penalties.

The mandatory 14-day self-quarantine orders are:

  1. Proceed directly from the airport to your designated quarantine location, which is the location identified and affirmed by you on the mandatory State of Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture Plants and Animals Declaration Form.
  2. Remain in your designated quarantine location for a period of 14 days or the duration of your stay in the State of Hawai‘i, whichever is shorter.

  3. If you are a resident, your designated quarantine location is your place of residence.

If you are a visitor, your designated quarantine location is your hotel room or rented lodging.

You can only leave your designated quarantine location for medical emergencies or to seek medical care.

  1. Do not visit any public spaces, including but not limited to pools, meeting rooms, fitness centers or restaurants.
  2. Do not allow visitors in or out of your designated quarantine location other than a physician, healthcare provider, or individual authorized to enter the designated quarantine location by the Director of HIEMA.
  3. Comply with any and all rules or protocols related to your quarantine as set forth by your hotel or rented lodging.
  4. If you become ill with a fever or cough:

  5. Continue to stay in designated quarantine location, avoid contact with others and contact a healthcare provider for further instructions on treatment or testing.

If you are older or have any medical conditions (e.g., immune compromise, diabetes, asthma), consult your regular healthcare provider.

If you feel you need medical care, contact healthcare provider and inform them of your travel history.

If you need urgent medical care (e.g., have difficulty breathing), call 9-1-1 and let the dispatcher know your travel history).

Failure to follow this order is a misdemeanor and punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than one year, or both. Enforcement will be handled by each of Hawaiʻi’s four counties.

The mandate will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2020.

“These actions are extreme, but they will help flatten the curve and lay the groundwork for a quicker recovery. We need everyone to comply with these quarantine orders to help protect Hawaiʻi’s residents,” added Ige.

Translation: The sea of Hawai’i surges in turmoil

The earth of Haumea rumbles and shakes

The highest heavens shudder up above

Alas! Woeful indeed are the heartless foreigners

*Stand tall my Hawai’i

Band of warriors of my land

The new dawn for our people of Hawai’i is upon us

For my nation I give my all so that our legacy lives on

Where are you soldiers of Keawe

Along with those of Maui and O’ahu

Unite, join together with those of Kaua’i

Marching alongside the descendants of Ni’ihau

Move forward young ones and drink of the bitter waters

Be fearless, steadfast for there is no turning back

Let’s press onward straight on the path of victory

Alas! Woeful are the heartless foreigners!

Be honored always oh beloved descendants of the land

Let us wear the honored ‘a’ali’i of our beloved land

Paddle on in our pursuit of civil justice

Until our dignity and independence is restored

I was spoken to yesterday about my post on the Hawaiian Governments illegal annexation and why some Hawaiians don't celebrate. Today I'll be releasing an extra cast to cover on why they feel this way!

There are clips from our former president, Bill Clinton, Hawaiian Rights speakers that stand up to the desecration of sacred places, and the song made famous by Hawaii Calls, written by the last Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and has such a unique and painful history to it.

Please enjoy this piece of entertainment intended to inform , educate and share as you feel needed.

Much Mahalo and Aloha to everyone, one and all.
