Pursuant to the authority vested in me by Hawai'i Revised Statutes Chapter 127A
and due to the public health concerns related to COVID-119, I hereby adopt and
promulgate the following rules which have the force and effect of law.
The following State of Hawai'i proclamations related to the COVI D-1 9 emergency
authorized by Governor David lge 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 Hawai'i effective October 15, 2020 and
suspended certain specified laws; the Fourteenth Proclamation authorized each county
to establish a two -test system for transpacific travelers entering the respective counties;
the Fifteenth Proclamation established a statewide face covering requirement; the
Sixteenth Proclamation modified the requirements for transpacific travel to Hawai'i; the
Seventeenth Proclamation reduced the mandatory self -quarantine for persons entering
the State of Hawai'i and for travelers to the counties of Maui, Kaua'i, Hawai'i and
Kalawao from 14 days to 10 days; the Eighteenth Proclamation extended the state of
emergency and clarified the state of mind required for violation of the proclamation and
the requirements for self -quarantine exceptions; the Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty -
First Proclamation which have begun to recognize progress made on managing the
crisis and implementing limiting relaxation of certain restrictions.
Consistent with the forgoing, this Emergency Rule is based upon evidence that
COVID-1 9 continues to endure within this state and county via transpacific travel
related cases as well as through increased 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-1 9. To date, the number of
documented cases of COVID-19 in the State is in excess of 40,659, and there have
been at least 529 deaths attributed to this disease in the State.
Nevertheless, the revisions provided in this Rule reflect progress made in
Hawai'i County towards reducing the threat of spread through safe practices. As a
County of Hawai'i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employcr
