Group tracing quarantine breakers is busier than ever
by: Max Rodriguez
HONOLULU (KHON2) Despite having to quarantine for two weeks, more visitors keep arriving in Hawaii, and among them are some who will try to avoid the states rules.
It is getting harder to keep track of visitors for a group of volunteers who monitor that quarantine orders are being followed. Angela Keen, the Administrator of Hawaii Quarantine Kapu Breakers group, said she is getting reports of people breaking quarantine almost by the hour.
Keen said, Back in March, we had maybe one or two quarantine breaker reports a week, and today, today its overwhelming, Im getting maybe four to eight a day.
Their efforts are only expected to increase in September, that is when travelers who can verify negative COVID-19 test results will be exempt from quarantine. However, the order will stand for those not tested or showing symptoms.
Senator Donovan Dela Cruz is the Chair of the states Senate Special Committee on COVID-19, he also wants to see a larger staff to verify that visitors stay inside their place of lodging for 14 days.
We are probably scaled to what we were back in April which were probably less than 100 or 200 visitors, Dela Cruz said. Now that that number is going up, we have to make sure the proper staff is there so that we can enforce the quarantine.
He said there are visitors who try to bypass the quarantine order through loopholes.
Hotels started to comply with the 14-day quarantine, then they went to illegal Airbnbs, Dela Cruz said. When we said no rental cars, they started using rental car apps, it seems some people are hell-bent in trying to violate the quarantine.
Groups like Hawaii Quarantine Kapu Breakers use social media to locate visitors who disregard the governors emergency orders. Keen said they want state officials to have a precise system come September.
Keen said, There has to be a better follow-up each day with each quarantined person and that needs to be specifically tracked, where they are staying and whether they are being safe.
The Senate Special Committee on COVID-19 will meet with the state attorney general, the Department of Health and other agencies involved in the pre-travel testing program. The agenda includes discussions on contact tracing, passenger screening, COVID-19 testing and enforcement of quarantine.
Low-life types. They would have been good Germans, pointing out where Jews were hiding.
“We got a runner.”
And they’re all named Karen.......
How long until they execute a few. They are liberals after all. They won’t be able to resist.
Who wuld have thought the stasi and their collaborator snitches were alive and well in America?
House Arrest without Habeus Corpus?
GFY. I’m outta here....
if i had no prospects one could think a year of prison in Hawaii with 3 meals and a cot not the worst outcome.
Snitches ought to get stitches.
Why travel to Hawaii just to spend the whole time quarantined in your hotel? It looks like a new sport has been invented: "quarantine evasion." It's all very cat and mouse, cloak and dagger, well you get the idea.
And what is an "illegal Airbnb?"
Oh they are “busy” say the rat faced media vermin. They would have said the same about the guards at Auschwitz.
Come September, the Hawaiian stasi will be using tattoos and ankle bracelets.
The left's reaction to the covid slides inevitably towards fascism.
I haven’t been to Hawaii so I can’t say anything but I had a friend who went there and said native Hawaiians treated him poorly because he’s white.
Good grief.
WTF?
I was born and raised there—and still own property in HI, but live on the mainland now.
Will you be on the “Kapu Hunting Team”?
For those who don’t know, “Kapu” means taboo/forbidden.
Not if youre a Haole.
Why anyone would want to visit that racist, totalitarian hell hole is beyond me.
The tracers are Nazi Brownshirts.
Right? If Im going to jail, make it a good reason. They would be eating three squares a day through straws.
Gee, here in NYS they’re going after healthy people while confirmed positives run around loose with impunity.
Go figure.
Ankle monitors? Handcuff a Karen to each scofflaw? Put’em in holding cells for 2 weeks at the airport upon arrival?
All measures I’m sure you approve of...
They are essentially locked in their hotel rooms. If they come out, they are locked out and an alert goes on and the hotel calls the police.
