CONTINUE TODAY BETWEEN THE
COUNTY MAYORS AND THE GOVERNOR
AS UNEMPLOYMENT CONTINUES TO GO
UP.
SINCE MONDAY...THERE HAVE BEEN
NEARLY 2-THOUSAND NEW UNIQUE
FILINGS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT...PUT
TING THE TOTAL SO FAR AT MORE
THAN
223-THOUSAND.
BUT SO FAR, ONLY ABOUT A THIRD

AROUND 69-
THOUSAND CLAIMS.
AS FOR THE COVID CASE COUNT...
THERE WERE JUST TWO NEW CASES IN
HAWAII YESTERDAY.. BOTH IN MAUI
COUNTY.

HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM

KRISTINE:
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JOSH GREEN
SAYS WE'VE FLATTENED THE
CURVE...AND IF THE NUMBERS STAY
LOW, WE COULD SEE MORE
BUSINESSES OPENED
SOON...AND A CHANGE WITH THE
TRAVEL QUARANTINE.
HE JOINS US NOW...WITH MORE.
KRIS
WE'VE SEEN RESTRICTIONS LIFTED
THIS
FRIDAY...MAYOR KIRK CALDWELL
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY HE
WANTS MORE BUSINESSES, SUCH AS
CARWASHES AND GOLF COURSES, TO
OPEN THIS FRIDAY.
WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION...IS
IT SAFE TO REOPEN THOSE TYPES OF
BUSINESES?
KRIS
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TRAVEL
QUARANTINE...IT'S SUPPOSED TO
LAST
UNTIL THE END OF MAY. THERE'S A
POSSIBILITY IT COULD END SOONER
THAN
THAT?
KRISTINE:
HE WILL BE STICKING AROUND TO
ANSWER YOUR FACEBOOK
QUESTIONS...A LITTLE LATER IN
THE SHOW...
