Special agents comb more than 3,000 hotel rooms for quarantine violators
O’AHU, Hawaii (KITV) On Friday, special agents with the attorney general’s office scoured 10 hotels, primarily in Waikiki, for quarantine breakers.
During the operation, which covered 3,200 hotel rooms, agents worked with hotel security staff to identify guests subject to the state’s mandatory 10-day quarantine.
“It (the operation) was also to educate the tourists that are here visiting our island, and to let them know that the quarantine is important,” Deputy Chief Special Agent Paul Jones said.
Hilton Hawaiian Village was one of the locations the agents searched.
Angela Keen, the founder of watchdog organization Hawai’i Quarantine Kapu Breakers, praised the Hilton for what she considers effective protocol, such as assigning guests who need to quarantine to the same floor to help investigators locate potential rule-breakers.
