EVERY
COUNTY IS FACING THEIR OWN SET
OF CHALLENGES...
FROM THE LONG LINES - TO
EDUCATING TOURISTS ABOUT
THEIR OWN SET OF RULES.
SO HOW IS HAWAII COUNTY DEALING
WITH ALL OF THIS?
JOINING US THIS MORNING IS
HAWAII COUNTY MAYOR - HARRY KIM.
ROSS:
1Q. WHAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE SINCE OPENING UP
TOURISM LAST THURSDAY? HAVE THE
LONG LINES BEEN RESOLVED?

2Q. THE BIG ISLAND HAS A
REQUIRED POST-ARRIVAL TESTING
PROGRAM IN
PLACE THAT YOU JUST MADE SOME
CHANGES TO....CAN YOU EXPLAIN
HOW IT
WORKS AND HOW'S IT GOING? ANY
POSITIVE TESTS?
ROSS:
3Q. AND SOME GOOD NEWS FOR
INTER- ISLAND TRAVELERS HEADING
INTO THE
BIG ISLAND...BECAUSE THEY CAN
NOW AVOID QUARANTINE AFTER
YOU SIGNED AN EMERGENCY ORDER
EARLIER THIS WEEK.
3Q.HOW DO YOU EDUCATE VISITORS
OF THE RULES...BECAUSE I
KNOW A LOT OF LOCALS ARE
FRUSTRATED THAT VISITORS ARE NOT
OF THE RULES...BECAUSE I KNOW A
THAT VISITORS ARE NOT WEARING A
MASK...AND DON'T KNOW THE COUNTY
RULES?
ROSS:
4Q. WHAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST
SURPRISE SINCE OPENING UP
TOURISM THAT MAYBE YOU DIDN'T
EXPECT?
