Mainland Couple Arrested 2nd Time for Quarantine Violation 

Special Agents from the AG's Investigations Division re-arrested 27-year-old Evan Dorsey and 30-year-old Angel Henri at Waikiki this afternoon. They face a second charge of violating the 14-day mandatory quarantine.
 

Agents say after his release yesterday Dorsey posted on social media his defiance of Hawai'i's quarantine law. Security at the hotel, where the couple was supposed to be in quarantine, alerted Special Agents of their departure today, 10-minutes prior to their arrest. A witness told authorities that Dorsey created a second social media post showing him and Henri surfing at Kūhiō Beach. Bail was set at $2,000.

CARES Act Funding Available for Child Care Programs Statewide   

DHS and the Hawai‘i Community Foundation (HCF) announced Friday that there is $15 million available in CARES funds to support licensed childcare programs across the state. It’s part of a new program called the Child Care Stimulus Grants Program, which provides regulated childcare providers or A+ providers in Hawaiʻi with extra funding to ensure they can reopen and continue operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program also wants to ensure that the childcare facilities are able to meet the additional health and safety measures set by DHS for reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Ige said, “I’m committed to using all the federal funding Hawai‘i has received in ways that benefit the people of our state. The Child Care Stimulus Grants Program fills a major need by ensuring the health and safety of our children and their families, which is the foundation for reopening our economy.”  

 

DHS Director Cathy Betts said, “Since the beginning of this pandemic DHS recognized that childcare must be part of every conversation addressing essential workers and remains a critical part of reopening and supporting the local economy. Childcare providers are vital in giving children healthy and safe environments that promote early development while offering parents peace of mind during this extraordinarily challenging time.” 

 

Allowable expenses under the program include staff salaries, personal protective equipment, cleaning supplies, and other materials needed to care for children, rent, and mortgage payments. Grant applications are being accepted from Oct. 6 through Oct. 30, 2020 at:
