OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
CITY & COUNTY OF HONOLULU
EMERGENCY ORDER NO. 2020-26
(COVID-19 [Novel Coronavirus]C
AMENDED SECOND STAY AT HOME / WORK FROM HOME ORDER
OVERVIEW
The virus that causes Coronavirus 2019 Disease (“COVID-19”) is easily transmitted, especially in group settings, and it is essential that the spread of COVID-19 be slowed to protect the ability of public and private health care providers to handle the influx of new patients and to safeguard public health and safety. This Order addresses these ongoing concerns.
At the present time, a resurgence of COVID-19 continues within the City. As of September 2, 2020, the City had a seven (7) day moving average of 1.7 new cases for every 10,000 people that live in the City. As of September 4, 2020, the City had a total of 8,575 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 516 related hospitalizations, and 69 related deaths.
Due to the risk of the rapid spread of the virus causing COVID-19, and the need to protect all members of the City, especially including our members most vulnerable to the virus and also health care providers, this Order requires all individuals anywhere in the City to shelter in place — that is, stay at home and work from home — except for certain essential activities and work to provide essential business and government services or perform essential public infrastructure construction, including housing. This Order is effective at 12:00 a.m. on September 10, 2020 and will continue through September 23, 2020 subject to the limited exceptions and under the terms and conditions more particularly set forth below.
Pursuant to Haw. Rev. Stat. § 127A-25 and the Rules of the Mayor City and County of Honolulu, dated March 20, 2020 (“Mayor’s Rules”) promulgated under that section, each of the orders contained in this Order (“the Orders”) shall have the force and effect of law. The Orders are in accordance with and incorporate by reference all of my prior COVID-19 related emergency proclamations and Hawai’i Governor David Y. Ige’s COVID-19 related emergency proclamations.
Violation of any of the Orders is punishable as a misdemeanor, with fines of up to $5,000, up to a year in jail, or both. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 127A-29; Mayor’s Rules.
ORDERS
Order 1: All individuals currently living within the City are ordered to stay at their place of residence. To the extent individuals are using shared or outdoor spaces, they must at all times as reasonably possible maintain physical distancing of at least six (6) feet from any other person when they are outside their residence and comply with Social Distancing Requirements (as defined in Section II.). All persons may leave their residences only for Essential Activities, Essential Governmental Functions, or to operate or visit Essential Businesses, as those terms are defined in Section II.
Order 3: Gatherings
Indoor and outdoor social gatherings of any type and any number of people are prohibited. For purposes of this Order, a “social gathering” is a gathering or event that brings together persons from multiple households or living units at the same time for a discrete, shared or group experience in a single room, space, or such as a private home, park, auditorium, stadium, arena, conference room, lunch room, meeting hall, or other indoor or outdoor space.
This limitation on social gatherings does not apply to gatherings / events / activities that are permitted under Section II. Nothing in this Order prohibits the gathering of members of a household or living unit on their property (including shared common areas).
Order 5: Non-Medical Grade Face Coverings
All individuals within the City shall wear face coverings while outdoors in public spaces when maintaining a physical distance of six (6) feet from other individuals is not feasible.
All individuals within the City shall wear face coverings while indoors in public spaces, including, but not limited to, enclosed common areas of commercial and residential buildings.
