COVID-19 Emergency Rule No. 3
On April 21st, Mayor Harry Kim issued Emergency Rule No. 3, which imposes additional guidelines and clarifications to the Governor's recent supplementary proclamation. This new rule for Hawai‘i County mandates face masks or coverings for "all customers, who are five (5) years old and older and all employees, who have any contact with other employees, customers, or goods to be purchased." The additional restrictions apply to the following essential businesses and operations:
-Stores that sell groceries and medicine;
-Gas stations and businesses needed for transportation;
-Financial institutions;
-Hardware and supply stores;
-Laundry services;
-Supplies for essential businesses and operations.
Changes under this rule include the requirement that sanitizing stations be available at each entrance and that customers sanitize their hands upon entry. Businesses are also to implement and maintain controls to discourage hoarding of essential supplies, and establish internal controls to ensure social distancing is being maintained throughout the establishment.
