Hawaii authorities overwhelmed with 20,000 in quarantine, Mayor Kirk Caldwell says
Roughly 20,000 people are in travel-related quarantine on Oahu and authorities are unable to keep up with enforcement.
“Being forced into quarantine right now is not a good thing for Oahu because there’s about 20,000 people in quarantine on any given day that (the Honolulu Police Department) has to enforce against and it becomes harder and harder as more and more people are in quarantine,” Mayor Kirk Caldwell told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Spotlight Hawaii on Wednesday, adding that HPD is having to do sporadic enforcement because it is “impossible” to call and knock on doors three times a day for every person in quarantine.
“Our goal is to test as many people coming in as possible to get them out of quarantine as quickly as possible.”
