Mayor's Thirteenth Supplementary Emergency Proclamation

Home

the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases on Hawaii Island is 434 and the community spread of COVID-19 has resulted in increased hospitalization and strained health care resources, including utilization of the limited number of ICU hospital beds on island. Without immediate action, the County of Hawaii is unable to meet urgent health care needs of our island community. As a result, it is necessary to continue restrictions in order to reduce the threat of spread of COVID-19 and enable our health care resources to meet urgent health care needs attributable to COVID-19; and WHEREAS, due to the possibility of imminent emergency or disaster due to bodily injury to residents of the County of Hawaii, and the need for government agencies and representatives from the private sector to mobilize and provide financial and other immediate services to our island residents, a state of emergency is authorized pursuant to Chapter 127A Hawaii Revised Statutes, and Chapter 7, Hawai'i County Code. NOW, THEREFORE, I, MITCHELL D. ROTH, Mayor of the County of Hawai'i, do hereby proclaim and declare that a state of emergency continues to exist due to the imminent danger or threat of emergency on Hawaii Island from the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thirteenth Supplementary Emergency Proclamation shall be effective January 26, 2022, continuing thereon until March 26, 2022, unless terminated or superseded by a. separate proclamation, whichever shall occur first. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the County of Hawai'i to be affixed. Done this 2nd day of February, 2022 in Hilo, Hawaii. Mitchell D. Roth Mayor County of Hawaii I HEREBY CERTIFY that above is a true oeand correct copy the original no7!!!2 ` unty Clerk
