• Recent developments—COVID-19.
• On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the virus strain Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and the resulting disease COVID-19, to be a pandemic. COVID-19 has affected all 50 states within the United States, including Hawaii. On March 21, 2020, the Governor of the State of Hawaii issued a second supplementary emergency proclamation, effective March 25, 2020, ordering all visitors and residents, arriving or returning to the State of Hawaii to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine. On March 23, 2020, the Governor issued a third supplementary proclamation, effective March 25, 2020, declaring that all persons within the state must remain at home through April 30, 2020, with exceptions for “essential activities,” or “essential businesses,” in each case as defined in the proclamation. On March 31, 2020, the Governor signed a fourth supplementary proclamation, effective April 1, 2020, that requires all residents and visitors traveling between any of the islands in the State of Hawaii to self-quarantine for 14 days. On April 25, 2020, the Governor issued a sixth supplementary proclamation to extend the stay-at-home order through May 31, 2020. In addition to the restrictions imposed within Hawaii, due to the numerous other state and local jurisdictions around the world that have imposed “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, and similar government orders and restrictions, and in particular, travel restrictions that directly impact Hawaii tourism, economic activity in the state has been severely impacted.
