Beat me up! Why wearing a mask in Waikiki? 147 new COVID cases on Oahu

Sunday records 147 new cases of Coronavirus on the Island of Oahu, 1 in Maui, 1 in Kauai, and 3 on the Big Island of Hawaii. Tourists still ignore the mandate by Honolulu major Kirk Caldwell to wear a mas, according to a security guard for the International Market Place in Waikiki.

Military members and their families had been arriving in Hawaii in the hundreds every day without quarantine requirements, while tourists were arrested for not staying in hotel rooms for 2 weeks.

Oahu beaches including Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana Beach Park are closed, 300+ parks are closed and the wearing of a facemask is mandatory. Hawaii is struggling to keep the virus under control and hospitals functioning. Was this all caused by the ignorance of US military officials in not communicating with the State?

The travel and tourism industry in Hawaii is in dire need, what can be next?

This 15-minute drive shows a very different Waikiki.
