O Henry s Publick House co-owner Lisa McFarland and Insignia Hair Salon manager Ashley Flowers discuss strict coronavirus restrictions and lack of support from the government.
Hawaii’s rural island of Kauai has seen a spike of COVID-19 cases since launching pre-travel testing to reignite the state’s decimated tourism industry.
Early and aggressive local measures coupled with a strictly enforced statewide travel quarantine kept the island’s 72,000 residents mostly healthy with only 61 known coronavirus cases from March through September. But on Oct. 15, the state allowed travel to partially resume
Kauai then went from having no active infections at all in the first part of October to at least 84 new cases in the ensuing seven weeks. The surge seeded community transmission and led to the island s first and so far only COVID-19 death.
So what are S.I. chefs up to on this snowy night when no one eats indoors?
