The Hawai'i State Department of Education announced today that it will continue the Learn from Home phase of distance learning for most students statewide through the first quarter, which ends Oct. 2. Ahead of the Aug. 17 return of students for the 2020-21 school year, the Department announced most schools would shift the majority of instruction to distance learning for at least the first four weeks of the academic year. This extends that by three weeks for the remainder of the first quarter. The extension applies to all O'ahu schools and most neighbor island schools. Hāna High & Elementary School on Maui and Kilohana Elementary, Maunaloa Elementary and Moloka'i Middle schools on Moloka'i will continue their current models. Update: Kaunakakai Elementary and Moloka‘i High plan to implement distance learning until Sept. 8. During the Learn from Home phase, schools will continue offering learning hubs on campus to provide connectivity for students who need it. Schools will also continue educational programming for vulnerable students as previously identified. Complex area superintendents will work with school principals to develop transition plans for the second quarter, with considerations for community-specific needs. The Department will continue to work closely with state, county and health officials to assess if and when students can safely return to in-person blended learning models. As decisions are made, schools will communicate with families.

The County of Maui continues to support the Maui District Health Office (MDHO) and Hawaii National Guard in expanding its contact tracing capacity for COVID-19 cases in Maui County. MDHO is partnering with the University of Hawaii Maui College, which will be providing its auditorium, two offices and parking spaces for contact tracing personnel and operations. The college also will be providing phones and computers to investigators, along with access to the facilities on holidays and weekends. Currently, MDHO has 24 staff and public health nurses to conduct contact tracing. Hawaii National Guard has provided an additional 28 personnel to assist with investigations and have made over 700 calls in the past week. About a dozen contracted workers trained through UH system will also join the group beginning in early September. “We continue to support the Maui District Health Office and Dr. Lorrin Pang in their tireless efforts to keep our community safe,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “Dr. Pang’s staff have done a tremendous job contact tracing and investigating cases throughout Maui County. We also are grateful to Task Force Maui Commander Col. Tyson Tahara and all our Hawaii National Guardsmen for their service to our community.”

Department of Health: COVID-19 Activity Appears to be Stabilizing on O‘ahu While there are indications that infections in Honolulu are beginning to stabilize and even decrease slightly, health officials are expressing concerns about growing activity on Maui and Hawai‘i island. Hawai‘i island has 23 new cases today for a cumulative total of 243 since the start of the pandemic. Maui has eight (8) additional cases for a cumulative total of 311. Most of the newly reported cases are reported on O‘ahu with 245 today for a cumulative total of 6,626. Hawai‘i’s coronavirus death toll reached 51 today, with the Dept. of Health reporting two additional deaths. Both are O‘ahu men who were in the hospital and had underlying health conditions. One of the men was in the 50 to 59-year-old age group, and the other was in the 60 to 69-year-old group. Health Director Dr. Bruce Anderson extended statewide condolences to the family and friends of the latest people to pass from COVID-19. “The tragic loss of our loved ones and our neighbors is devastating and sadly, more deaths are expected as our case numbers continue to be high. We can work together to reduce hospitalizations and deaths by consistently practicing the 3W’s (wash your hands, watch your distance, wear your mask), and abiding by all State and County restrictions currently in place. We all can do our part to get the infection rate across Hawai‘i back under control,” he said. Commenting on the increasing activity on the two Neighbor Islands, State Epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park said, “Along with our county partners, we are closely monitoring these trends. We have concerns that ongoing gatherings, especially with inconsistent mask use or distancing, are contributing.” On Hawai‘i island two recent large gatherings are of particular concern: a beach gathering and a large funeral. Social media videos from the funeral showed people not physically distancing or wearing masks. More than 500 tests have been reportedly administered to people who attended the funeral with additional testing planned.

All services are completely optional and offered by DOH on a case-by-case basis when individuals identify challenges that may prevent them from safely quarantining or isolating. Assistance may include home delivery of food or essential items to people who do not have another way to get supplies. In some cases, individuals may be offered a hotel room or other alternate accommodation when they cannot safely isolate or quarantine away from other household members. The decisions to use assistance offered or relocate to a hotel is completely voluntary and up to each individual. First Day of Surge Testing on O‘ahu Today, is the first day of “surge testing” on O‘ahu where federal, state and county partners hope to test 5,000 people each day over the next 14 days.

HI-EMA Administrator Luke Meyers said, “Kokua Offers is HI-EMA’s way of helping connect our communities to enable them to help each other during this unprecedented pandemic. It’s a more convenient way for our organization to engage our residents to aid others as the COVID-19 case numbers continue to mount.” Link to the Kokua Offers portal: http://kokuaoffers.hawaii.gov Federal Team Arrives to Aid Local Efforts in Fight Against COVID-19 A COVID-19 Response Assistance Field Team (CRAFT) arrived in Honolulu Monday, to help the State in its efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus. CRAFT typically visits emerging hotspots nationwide to listen, learn, and support local and state efforts in its fight against COVID-19. They help to identify root causes at the community level, identify lessons learned, and help implement those plans. Some of the things they’ll be working on include; school re-opening plans, collaboration and coordination with community-based organizations, current community mitigation strategies, and testing strategies. CRAFT has already met with HI-EMA, DOH, and will reach out to county mayors and emergency management directors in the coming days. Website Launched to Provide PPE to Qualifying Organizations HI-EMA has launched a website for independent medical and dental practices, small groups, small hospitals, small businesses, and non-profits to obtain free PPE. There are 12 items available and there is a prioritization list of which organizations have access to which supplies and how many. While it takes 2-3 months to receive bulk orders, each organization will be sent supplies that are already on island while they wait for what they ordered. HI-EMA Administrator Luke Meyers said, “This website will enhance HI-EMA’s ability to provide more help to the community as COVID-19 case counts continue to rise and hospitals struggle to avoid surge capacity. From an emergency management perspective, we are rising to the challenge of supporting our medical facilities, small businesses, and non-profits with the essential protective equipment they need to stay safe during these unprecedented times.” Each organization shall register, attest to qualification requirements, provide Hawaii-specific license numbers and the size of their staff and customers. Once they are confirmed to be a Hawai'i organization that qualifies, they will be provided access to the ordering website.

Governor’s Office: Governor Ige Approves Two-Week-Long Stay-at-Home Order for O‘ahu A new “State-at-Home, Work-at-Home” order for the City and County of Honolulu goes into effect on Thursday for the following two weeks. At a news conference at the Honolulu Fire Dept. headquarters, Governor David Ige, Mayor Kirk Caldwell, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, Lt. Gov. Dr. Josh Green, and others, spoke about the need to get O‘ahu’s daily, triple-digit case numbers under control quickly. “On O‘ahu, the surge over the past few weeks threatens to stress our healthcare system beyond its capacity. We appreciate the support from the City and County of Honolulu and the federal government. This is clearly an all-country and all-community effort. The surge testing announced today, allows us to reach deeper into specific communities and to make sure we reach every single individual who has been infected. The surge testing is a game changer,” said Gov. Ige (surge testing information in story below). The governor detailed intensive discussions he’s had with Mayor Caldwell over the past two weeks about how to flatten the curve. He explained the decision to reimpose a Stay-at-Home order was data driven. Gov. Ige said, “The mayor and I agree that we wish all of the actions and restrictions now in place would have been more successful, but we need to do more.” He again called the fight against coronavirus a marathon, that will only succeed with everyone accepting personal responsibility. Success, he concluded is through all levels of government and every member of the community working together. View entire news conference: https://vimeo.com/451654555 70,000 Tests in 14 Days The other major announcement today is the availability of “surge testing” on O‘ahu beginning tomorrow and continuing for the next two weeks. The federal government is funding this mass testing in cooperation with various state and county partners and supporters. As Surgeon General Adams put it, “When we talk about positivity rates (green-less than 5%; yellow-5% to 10%; red-greater than 10%), Hawai‘i is yellow; at a turning point, and can go either direction very quickly. It is important to combine this shut down…this temporary shut-down, while we get tested, quarantine, and have contact tracing done. You have the power to make it temporary.” Reinforcing previous State and County guidance, Dr. Adams said all it takes is one party or one large gathering to undo the progress. He explained, “We know what works, the 3 W’s:” Wash hands Watch your distance Wear your mask when out and about He said he’s noticed the majority of Honolulu residents doing the right things, but all it takes is one weak link. “I’m confident that if you do this for the next two weeks and then you’re back in the green,” Adams said. For more information on free and pain-free tests & to make a reservation: www.doIneedacovid19test.com Governor Announces Hawai‘i Will Apply for New Unemployment Bonus Program Gov. David Ige and DLIR Acting Director Anne Eustaquio announced Tuesday that Hawaiʻi will apply to participate in a new unemployment insurance plus up program called the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) Program. The program, under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), was created by the president via a memorandum earlier this month in response to the July expiration of the unemployment $600 weekly benefit. Gov. Ige said, “This will bring relief to many who are still unemployed due to the impact of the coronavirus on our economy. I’m taking this action to maximize all available federal funds to help people in Hawaiʻi who are unemployed because of COVID-19.” Eustaquio added, “In anticipation of FEMA approval, the DLIR has already begun working to build a new program within the unemployment computer system to implement and pay LWA benefits. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor concerning program administration, the state will work diligently to complete this process as quickly as possible.” Upon approval, Hawaiʻi will offer an additional unemployment compensation benefit of $300 per week to eligible unemployment recipients. To qualify for this benefit, recipients must be eligible for at least $100 in weekly benefit and must certify that they are unemployed or partially unemployed due to the disruptions caused by COVID-19. Payments would be retroactive to August 1, 2020. Unlike the FPUC program that ended in July, LWA is a grant with a finite amount of funding. When FEMA exhausts its grant funding, it will no longer have the resources to provide LWA payments and the program will end. If the federal program does not exhaust the LWA grant funding, payments will end on Dec. 26, 2020.

Gov. Josh Green says the current healthcare situation, particularly on O‘ahu, necessitated the strong order. “Staying at home will keep people alive,” Green commented. He detailed the current capacity of hospitals and the medical system, pointing out that Honolulu has 4,472 of the 4,669 cases active across the state. He and Surgeon General Adams demonstrated the ease which anyone can self-administer a test at one of the surge testing sites. You can watch the demonstration here: https://vimeo.com/451663548 Department of Health: Community Spread is Primary Source of Infection Among Cases Of the 215 reported cases today,112 are attributed to community spread. Three (3) cases have travel as a risk factor, and 100 case are pending investigation. The majority of new cases are on O‘ahu, with Hawai‘i island reporting 11, and Maui reporting three (3). The new cases include 180 adults and 35 children (18 yrs. and younger). All the minors are household contacts who were exposed to positive adult cases.

DOH’s Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) has partnered with the City and County to provide intake and support services for isolation and quarantine and the City has executed a contract with a local hotel to provide an additional 130 rooms for isolation and quarantine on O‘ahu. With this expanded capacity, there will be a total of more than 300 rooms available for use in Honolulu. DOH will provide case management and wrap around services to support families and individuals who may need resources and social services during their 14-day isolation or quarantine. The City has contracted with the hotel and provided the funding for the additional 130 rooms through federal grant funds available for COVID-19 response. Mayor Caldwell said, “As cases increased, we realized the tremendous need for more isolation and quarantine units and stepped in with support. With sometimes crowded living conditions for large households on O‘ahu, these units will help to support families and individuals without the means to effectively prevent spreading the virus.” Eddie Mersereau, the deputy director of DOH’s BHA said, “We are grateful to the City for providing the additional resources needed to offer temporary rooms for individuals to safely isolate and quarantine. Working together, the City and State are providing social services and basic support to those who do not have homes or places to safely stay while they quarantine or isolate due to COVID.” BHA has activated the Hawai‘i CARES hotline to provide assistance and triage of cases. The Hawai‘i CARES call center is the state’s centralized resource for mental health and substance use treatment assistance. During the pandemic, the call center duties will be expanded for arranging appropriate placement for isolation/quarantine. The Hawai‘i CARES hotline can be reached on O‘ahu by calling (808) 832-3100, Neighbor Island residents can call toll free at 1-800-753-6879, or reach by fax at (808) 453-6994.

Healthcare Association of Hawai‘i: Nurses Needed to Assist Hospitals as COVID-19 Cases Surge in Hawai‘i Hawai‘i hospitals are urgently seeking nurses, including recent nursing graduates, because of the increasing number of hospitalizations due to the surge in COVID-19 illnesses. All recent graduates, even if they have not yet taken the NCLEX-PN or NCLEX-RN licensing exams, are needed to work in a variety of nursing roles, and not necessarily with COVID-19 patients. The state has waived license requirements during the emergency proclamation period to allow new nursing grads to work to their full scope of practice immediately upon graduation. This provision enables the nursing workforce to respond to and support the nursing needs as the number of COVID-19 cases has increased. All available nurses, including spring and summer 2020 graduates from a licensed practical nurse (LPN) program, associate degree, or bachelor’s degree program in nursing, and graduate entry program in nursing students (GEPN) who completed their pre-licensure year of education in August 2020, are encouraged to respond to this call for employment by completing the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HRNVLM7 This survey, sponsored by Hawai`i State Center for Nursing, HAH, and Hawai‘i Healthcare Emergency Management, a subsidiary of HAH, will be shared with employers in Hawai`i who will reach out to respondents for employment opportunities. Hawai‘i Tourism Authority: July 2020 Hawai‘i Vacation Rental Performance Report HTA released its monthly Vacation Rental Performance Report Tuesday. It showed the supply of vacation rentals in Hawai‘i last month was down 55.6-percent, and unit demand was down 91.9-percent compared to the same time last year. On O‘ahu, short-term rentals (rented for less than 30 days) were not allowed to operate during July. For Hawai‘i Island, Kaua‘i and Maui County, legal short-term rentals were allowed to operate as long as they were not being used as a quarantine location. During July, all passengers arriving from out-of-state were required to abide by a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine, but inter-island travelers did not have to quarantine.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell today announced that Governor David Ige has approved Honolulu’s Emergency Order No. 2020-25, reinstating a “Stay at Home/Work from Home” Order for the island of O‘ahu, effective at 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 27, through September 9. The intent of this Order is to curb the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus and the need to protect all members of the City and County of Honolulu, especially the members of our community most vulnerable to the virus and also our healthcare providers. The Second Stay at Home/Work from Home Order will be coupled with a massive testing effort with the City and County of Honolulu, the Federal Department of Health and Human Services and the Surgeon General’s Office. The federal government is providing the tests and covering all associated costs with the goal of completing 60,000 tests over 12 days. For more information on this mass testing program, visit DoIneedaCOVID19test.com. “We need to get this virus under control and the only way we do that is by eliminating opportunities where the virus can spread and identifying where it is,” said Mayor Caldwell. “Asking our island community to Stay at Home and Work from Home for the next two weeks will isolate individuals who may be carrying the virus, and prevent further spread. We’re coupling this effort with mass testing with the Federal Department of Health and Human Services and the Surgeon General’s Office. Being able to identify and then isolate those with the virus, particularly those who are asymptomatic, will give us a major advantage in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 on O‘ahu.” This latest Emergency Order requires all individuals anywhere on O‘ahu to shelter in place—that is, stay at home and work from home—except for certain essential activities and for all businesses within the City to cease activities, except for certain essential businesses, healthcare operations, essential infrastructure, and essential government functions. Essential Businesses allowed to operate include, but are not limited to, healthcare operations, grocery stores, gas stations, banks and financial institutions, hardware stores, restaurants for delivery or carryout, in-person spiritual services with modifications, and childcare facilities as described in the Order. All employees and customers of essential businesses and operations must wear non-medical grade face coverings in public spaces and maintain at least six feet of physical distancing when practicable. All passengers and users of public modes of transportation (TheBus and TheHandi-Van) shall wear non-medical grade face coverings when on board. Individuals can leave their residence to perform essential activities or essential work as outlined in the Order, or to get a COVID-19 test. People can also leave to engage in outdoor activity in locations as allowed by law. Individuals can still transit across or through beaches to access the ocean water for outdoor exercise purposes, such as surfing, solo paddling, and swimming.

The Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) is reactivating Dynamic Message Signs on Oahu for COVID-19 messaging. The first message was posted Thursday, Aug. 20 and reminds those driving past that we must act with care to protect our ohana from COVID-19. HDOT is also asking motorists to drive with care. Even though traffic volumes continue to track between 20 to 30-percent below average, traffic fatality statistics are not reflecting the reduction of cars on the road. “What we’re seeing now is an increase in speeding and aggressive driving. As a result, in vehicle fatalities are tracking higher than last year,” said Hawai'i Department of Transportation Deputy Director for Highways Ed Sniffen. “With fewer vehicles on the road right now due to COVID this shouldn’t be the case. We urge everyone to watch your speed and be aware of other road users.” Fatality statistics for those using the roads as bicyclists and pedestrians are tracking lower than this time last year even as many are out on the road for exercise. HDOT thanks the public for acting with care when it comes to these vulnerable groups on the road. Motorcycle and moped fatalities are approximately the same as last year. Preliminary fatal crash statistics are updated weekly at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/safe-communites/ Traffic volumes during the COVID emergency can be found at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/covid-19-traffic-volume-comparison/
