Governor’s Office: Governor Ige Joins People Statewide in Extending Condolences to Victim’s Families “We are saddened by these additional deaths and the toll the pandemic is taking on the families and friends of those affected,” said Gov. Ige. “This is a serious disease especially for those with pre-existing health conditions and older adults. It is critical that we all comply with the stay at home order, practice social distancing, and continue to wear a mask whenever we go out to protect others.” Maui Mayor Michael Victorino released the following statement on the fifth COVID-19-related death in Maui County: "A fifth death related to COVID-19 in Maui County has been confirmed by the Department of Health.

Department of Health: Two Additional COVID-19 Deaths Brings Hawai‘i Total to Twelve The Hawai‘i Dept. of Health is reporting two additional coronavirus related deaths late last night. These deaths bring the total in the state to twelve (12) since tracking began on Feb. 28, 2020. Deaths occurred on O‘ahu and on Maui and both are men, 65-years-old, or older. On O‘ahu, the man had underlying health conditions and was hospitalized in late March. After getting better, he had been discharged, but his health subsequently declined and he passed away at home yesterday. On Maui, the man who passed also had underlying health conditions. He had been in the hospital at Maui Memorial Medical Center (MMMC) since late last year. This person’s death is considered related to the MMMC cluster, which as of yesterday had 36 staff and 20 patients under investigation as potentially associated with the cluster. Hawaiicovid19.com Cluster Updates DOH investigators continue to closely monitor a number of clusters of COVID-19 across the state. At Maui Memorial Medical Center, as of yesterday, there are 56 people under investigation as potentially associated with a cluster. 36 are staff members and 20 are patients.

Hawai'i has a long tradition of welcoming visitors from around the world. The hookipa (hospitality) and Aloha Spirit that people feel as they explore our islands has become stuff of legends. At this time however, like many of you, we are focusing on the health and safety of our community, visitor industry employees, health care professionals and our healthcare system. As a small, remote island community, our residents are particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 crisis. Hawai'i Governor David Ige has asked that you postpone your trips to Hawai'i to give us the opportunity to address this health crisis. To that end he has mandated a 14-day quarantine for all visitors and residents entering the state. In addition, the island mayors have over the past few days instituted home lockdowns except for essential personnel. Like all visitors to Hawai'i, we would like you to experience the best the islands have to offer. Now, unfortunately, is clearly not the time. Mahalo and a hui hou (until we meet again). Should I come to Hawai'i as planned? No, not at this time. Governor David Ige ordered all persons traveling to Hawaii (visitors and returning residents) to self-quarantine for 14 days following arrival. The state of Hawaii’s SAFE TRAVELS SYSTEM WEBSITE further explains the entrance and quarantine process. The mandatory 14-day quarantine was expanded for air travel to include all inter-island passengers to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. These mandates will remain in place until further notice. As this would mean that visitors would need to remain in their rooms for most or all of their vacation, travelers are strongly urged to postpone any trips to Hawaii. For more information about statements issued by Governor Ige, CLICK HERE. Four counties have issued more specific guidelines and directives including wearing of facial masks, curfews, closures of bars and clubs, limitation of restaurants to take-out, drive through and delivery.

With the Governor’s announcement of an eviction moratorium that day, Attorney General Clare Connors discussed with the committee landlord-tenant issues. The moratorium prevents evictions until April 30, but this date may be extended in a future proclamation. Per the committee’s request, the AG will confirm whether the moratorium applies to court-ordered evictions already in process and new eviction proceedings. The Special Committee also requests that the AG verify what is covered by the rent freeze, whether specific fees such as late fees can accrue during this period, as well as parking fees and charges on electricity usage can be increased during this period. Catherine Awakuni Colon, Director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, followed up by reporting that their call center is taking about 50 calls per day concerning landlord-tenant issues. The center staff responds to both voice mails and email messages. Per the committee’s request, the department will provide a report on the numbers and sources of consumer contacts. For landlords with a federally backed mortgage, they can receive some relief from the federal government in the form of the CARES Act, which allows for mortgage payments to be deferred until the end of July. For landlords with a private mortgage, most local banks appear to be willing to work with mortgage holders on revised payment plans or other remedies. Per the committee’s request, the department will provide information and links to information regarding renter and landlord relief. It will also update all information to account for the new emergency proclamation, eviction moratorium, rent freeze, and other issues raised. Contact information for all relevant programs will be included. Linda Chu Takayama, the Governor’s Chief of Staff, reported that the State is projecting a shortfall of between $1.2-$1.5 billion in this year’s fiscal budget. The initial budget for FY2020 was $8 billion. There is a $7 billion carryover, but some funds have already been spent. The current monthly expense rate is $550 million. She said we will have a better idea of the state’s economic condition when April’s revenue report comes out on May 10. This report will also show the initial impact of the two statewide measures enacted in March regarding the stay-at-home and travel quarantine orders. While the Committee on Ways and Means is requesting departments to offer plans to cut budgets by 16%, 25% and 30% in order to find savings through program changes before further discussion of furloughs and pay cuts that were brought up by the Governor, Chu Takayama indicated that those requests were being filtered through the Department of Budget and Finance. Because of that, the Special Committee expressed its extreme dismay that its requests for information were once again being censored by the Administration. Citing numerous issues of delays and obstruction since the beginning of this societal emergency, the Special Committee reminded the Governor’s Chief of Staff that the departments are legally required to respond and that the Administration seriously take into account the unique nature of the state’s situation in regards to the pandemic and the critical need to quickly share information. The Special Committee indicated that the Senate would need to consider a vote of no-confidence and may pursue a subpoena of the information, should these issues with the Administration continue. Chris Tatum, CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), and Ford Fuchigami, Administrative Services Officer for the Department of Transportation Airports Division, also gave reports to the Special Committee. The HTA’s “Hotels for Heroes” program allows first responders and health care workers to stay in a hotel free of charge. To date, over 900 nightly stays have been booked. Each stay costs $85 plus taxes and fees. The HTA is using funding from its sports event marketing budget. Regarding the 14-day visitor and returning resident quarantine program, airlines are being asked to alert passengers to the quarantine and the program requirements through their websites, reservation confirmation communications, and boarding gate announcements. Per the committee’s request, copies of the Governor’s emergency proclamation will be sent to all CEOs of airlines that fly to the state, as well as have the HTA confirm what social distancing tools are being employed by said airlines. The presentations by the HTA and the Airports Division covered the procedure of how passengers are taken through the screening process once they deplane: Passengers who pass the temperature check hand their completed forms to a screener at the bottom of the jetway. The forms are checked for full completion. The screener compares the passenger’s identification to the information on the form. Passengers who refused to complete the forms while onboard are given the option of completing the forms there or face arrest by law enforcement. Passengers falsifying the information on the forms are referred to law enforcement and face arrest. Those who complete the form accurately are then given self-quarantine program forms to complete and sign. The screener verifies those completed forms and serves as a lead witness. The screener checks the phone contact info by calling the passenger’s cell phone while the passenger is present. If the phone doesn’t verify contact, the passenger is referred to law enforcement. For visiting passengers, the screener also calls the hotel the visitor has given to confirm reservations. Anyone who does not have a reservation is given the option of taking a return flight immediately or being arrested. Most airlines will put the visitor on a return flight. The HTA has a fund to pay for flight the airlines will not cover. To date, the agency has paid for 11 return flights. #HawaiiSenate #SenateSpecialCommittee #COVID19 #Coronavirus #ClareConnors

Highlights from Hawai‘i State Senate Special Committee on COVID-19 meeting of Wednesday, April 15 Adjutant General Kenneth Hara, Incident Commander from the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA) met with the Special Committee to report on recent updates. He spelled out a tiered response to control the pandemic: Prevent and protect: This is to detect and prevent the disease from spreading, when and where it happens in order to achieve timely and accurate state situational awareness of the evolving disease and the impact on critical sectors. Medical response: To develop recommendations for public health jurisdictions to manage cases and their contacts, support the health care system to manage medical surge, and to deploy resources to affected areas to support State and Local governments. Public message: To provide timely, accurate, clear, consistent, credible, and actionable information for safety and health message that protect the public. Supply chain: To maintain a stable and functioning one by preparing for and addressing critical vulnerabilities and shortages. To identify and implement mitigation strategies should the situation arise. And, if needed, request for medical counter-measures and supplies from Federal Strategic National Stockpiles, including medications, ventilators, and respiratory protection devices, as well as seek alternative sources for other critical items. In order to quantify how the pandemic’s impact on daily life and, in conjunction with the decision matrix, the following State response condition levels are being implemented: Level 1 – Green: The disease is occurring outside of Hawai‘i and healthcare facilities are capable of handling expected cases. No disruption of daily life. Level 2 – Yellow: The disease is being brought to the state by travelers with limited or no community spread and healthcare facilities are capable of handling expected cases. Minor disruption to daily life. Level 3 – Orange: The disease is being spread by both travelers and local communities across the islands and healthcare facilities begin to implement crisis operations. Moderate disruption to daily life. Level 4 – Red: The disease is severely spread across the islands and healthcare facilities are fully implementing crisis operations. Major disruption to daily life. General Hara indicated that the state is currently in the beginning stages of Level 3 – Orange, but with strict adherence from the public on current guidelines, it could soon move back into Level 2 – Yellow. His plan also includes a communications component to ensure that critical information is being provided to the public. The Special Committee asked that he consolidate information on the separate State and County guidelines such as the stay-at-home orders, mask policies, and other essential activities. Per the committee’s request, the communications team will work to better educate the public reporting suspected blatant violations of social distancing and stay-at-home orders by calling either 911 or 211 so that law enforcement can investigate any alleged violations. There are also works in the plan to safely re-open the economy, working with the Governor’s Economic Committee. The plan will work backwards to move the state from Level 3 – Orange to Level 1 – Green in a safe manner. Per the Special Committee’s suggestion, Hara will create a recovery chart like the pandemic response plan. Such a chart would include milestones for a decision matrix regarding what restriction can be ease and what types of public activity and events may be allowed to occur. He said the State must keep testing in order to slowly reduce public health restrictions. If safety protocols continue to be adhered to by the public, Hara said it is possible that business-as-usual could restart in approximately one month.

Yesterday, 441 people arrived in Hawai‘i including 123 visitors and 184 residents. During this same time last year, nearly 30,000 passengers arrived in Hawai‘i daily, including residents and visitors. The state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started on March 26th for all passengers arriving in Hawai‘i from out of state. The quarantine order was expanded on April 1st to include interisland travelers. This table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state yesterday and does not include interisland travel. source: https://www.hawaiitourismauthority.org/news/alerts/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/

The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is closely monitoring the latest developments regarding the COVID-19 virus and is in communication with the Governor’s Office and the State Department of Health. Please find pertinent details about DHHL activities and information for beneficiaries below. DHHL OFFICE CLOSURES All DHHL offices (including the Department’s main Kapolei, O`ahu office and all district offices) are closed to the public through April 30, 2020. The public should anticipate delays on all services including, but not limited to, home sales, transfers, successorships, and billing. DHHL DIRECT LOAN PAYMENTS HHC Approves DHHL Loan Deferral (Direct Loans and Loans Assigned to DHHL) The action is an opportunity for beneficiaries with direct loans and loans assigned to DHHL to defer mortgage payments for a period of six months, effective with the April 2020 payment. VIDEO: Hawaiian Homes Commission Chair William J. Aila, Jr. discusses HHC decision How does it work? If you have a loan directly with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, you may defer your loan payment(s) for up to six months under the recent Hawaiian Homes Commission action. Loans qualified under the deferment include DHHL Direct Loans or loans assigned to DHHL (an easy way to know if you qualify is if you write a check payable to DHHL for your loan). There is no application process to enroll in the deferment period. All qualified loans will automatically be deferred, beginning with the April 2020 payment. Qualified lessees may choose to defer fewer than six months of payments depending on their financial relief needs. The Department urges anyone able to make loan payments to continue to do so. Lessees are not required to use the deferral. Those who are able to continue to make regularly scheduled payment(s) are highly encouraged to do so by continuing to make their payment(s) as usual. Borrowers will continue to receive monthly statements from DHHL. Additional notes: Deferred loan payments are not forgiven. Deferred payments will be moved to the end of the loan and the full balance of the loan is still payable. If your mortgage is with a private lender and you are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 outbreak, please contact your lender as soon as possible. Private lender loans could include but are not limited to HomeStreet Bank, Bank of Hawaii, VA, or a local Credit Union. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provides relief for homeowners with government-guaranteed mortgages.  Homeowners with mortgages backed by the FHA, USDA, VA, HUD Section 184a, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac are eligible for loan forbearance for up to one year without fees, penalties, or additional interest. Click here for additional information. Need More Information? Call (808) 620-9500 to be connected with a DHHL loan officer. OTHER PAYMENTS (GENERAL LEASES, RIGHTS OF ENTRY, WATER BILLS, ETC.)
