UPDATE: 2:45 p.m.

Oahu residents can expect more coronavirus restrictions this week, according to a brief announcement from state officials this afternoon.

“Gov. David Ige and Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell met at length today and agreed that additional targeted restrictions will be needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on Oahu. We anticipate an announcement, with details, this week,” officials from the Hawaii COVID-19 Joint Information Center said in a news release.

No further details were immediately available.

Lt. Gov. Josh Green told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser over the weekend that he thought another lockdown was warranted due to the increasing coronavirus cases on Oahu.
