Tarique Peters of New York arrived in Hawaii on Monday and neglected to go into quarantine.
Tarique Peters of Bronx, New York has been arrested for violating Hawaii’s traveler quarantine and going to the beach. The 23-year-old neglected to go into quarantine for 14 days, as is required within the state for all travelers upon entering the islands. This law was put into place to keep the coronavirus from spreading across the state, according to Today.
Peters arrived in Honolulu on Monday and arrived at his hotel. Rather than staying there in quarantine for 14 days, he traveled all across the island. He took photos of himself enjoying the beach and other tourist attractions which he then posted on social media.
A press release from the Hawaii COVID-19 Joint Information Center explained Peters’ alleged wrongdoing.
