Fax (808)323-4440 Mayor's COVID-19 Emergency Rule No. 13 Pursuant to the authority vested in me by Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 127A and due to the public health concerns related to COVID-19, I hereby adopt and promulgate the following rules which have the force and effect of law. The following State of Hawaii proclamations related to the COVID-19 emergency authorized by Governor Ige are relevant to this emergency rule: The Thirteenth Proclamation established a negative test exception to the mandatory self -quarantine requirement for persons entering the State of Hawaii effective October 15, 2020; the Fourteenth Proclamation authorized each county to establish a two -test system for transpacific travelers entering the respective counties; and the Fifteenth Proclamation established a statewide face covering requirement. Amendment to Mayor's COVID-19 Emergency Rule No. 12, effective October 15, 2020 implemented a two -test system for all transpacific travelers to Hawaii County availing themselves of the negative test exception under the State's Safe Travels Program. The Sixteenth Proclamation Related to the COVID-19 Emergency (16th Emergency Proclamation), effective November 23, 2020, modified the requirements for transpacific travel to Hawaii by mandating that all persons electing to participate in the State's Safe Travels pretravel testing program produce a negative test result from a trusted testing partner administered within 72 -hours of the final leg of departure or submit to a 14 -day mandatory self -quarantine. This Emergency Rule updates the County's rules, its policies on travel, and its policies on face coverings. Mayor's COVID-19 Emergency Rule No. 13 Page 2 of 23 This Emergency Rule is based upon evidence that COVID-19 continues to endure within this state and county via transpacific and inter -island travel related cases as well as through community spread as reported by the State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This Emergency Rule is also based upon scientific evidence that reinforces the types of best practices and social policies that are most effective at mitigating or preventing the transmission of COVID-19. To date, the state of the pandemic finds that the daily new case count in the U.S. surpassed 185,000, the number of documented cases of COVID-19 in the State is in excess of 17,000 persons, and there have been at least 235 deaths attributed to this disease in the State. A. Work in Businesses or Operations All businesses, operations, and activities are permitted to remain open except those businesses, operations and activities delineated in Exhibit 5, or as otherwise provided by this rule, and subject to all restrictions and physical distancing requirements of this rule, the 16th Emergency Proclamation and any subsequent proclamations or orders, the State Department of Health Reopening Hawaii Safe Practices, and any CDC and industry guidelines. B. Safe Practices All persons shall implement the following physical distancing and sanitation requirements to the fullest extent possible: Face Coverings Required. All persons within Hawai'i County shall wear face coverings, over their nose and mouth, while in public settings.
