Travelers visiting Hawaii are continuing to defy the state’s mandatory self-isolation rule, issued on March 26 in an effort to stem the spread of CCP virus, commonly referred to as the novel coronavirus.

Hawaii, which has reported 638 cases and 17 deaths, was the first state in the United States to implement a traveler self-quarantine order requiring visitors to the islands to self-quarantine for 14 days, without leaving their hotel room or residence.
