What to do about Hawaii's 14-day quarantine as we look down the road to reopen for more tourism, maybe on Sept. 1. Are we ready? We are just coming off a COVID briefing where lawmakers demanded answers to that very question. What more should we be doing? What are the legal lines around enforcement, testing and improving compliance?

Today's guests:

  • Hawaii Attorney General Clare Connors;
  • Honolulu Police Department Deputy Chief John McCarthy; and
  • Angela Keen of the Hawaii Quarantine Kapu Breakers, a grassroots group working to help identify violators.
