Mayor Michael Victorino has issued a statement on Gov. David Ige’s supplemental proclamation, which took effect today, April 17.

“The Governor stated that his proclamation only allows water activities, and does not allow walking or running on the beaches for exercise purposes,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “My proclamation previously allowed exercise on the beaches, so this is a notable change for residents.”

“The Governor also announced that all customers must wear face coverings in essential businesses. Employees who have contact with customers or merchandise must also wear face coverings.”

The public is encouraged to review all the new rules in the Governor’s Fifth Supplementary Proclamation for COVID-19, by visiting governor.hawaii.gov/emergency-proclamations.
