More travel restrictions and measures have been imposed around the Pacific as cases in the region continue to increase.

The Governor of Guam announced that two more people have tested positive for Covid-19 there.

Lou Leon Guerrero said on Friday 19 people in the US territory were tested for the coronavirus with all but two testing negative.

She said a total of 100 tests had been performed now with 14 cases being confirmed.

All 14 cases remain in isolation.

There now are 28 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Pacific countries and territories, with another 26 in the US state of Hawai’i.

Tuvalu declares State of Emergency

The Acting Governor General in Tuvalu has declared a State of Emergency for the atolls in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The State of Emergency will last 14 days until further notice.

As part of the declaration public gatherings will be restricted to no more than 10 people.

Nauru, Tonga and Samoa recently made similar declarations this week.

New Caledonia flights stopped

New Caledonia’s international carrier Aircalin has been ordered to halt all flights to the territory amid concern over a deepening crisis caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

The government ordered the suspension because the ability to quarantine arriving passengers had reached its limits.

Hundreds of people arriving this week were confined to hotels in a bid to halt the propagation of the virus.

Two travellers with coronavirus arrived on Wednesday, prompting the closure of schools and forcing most public establishments, such as restaurants and bars, to cease operations.

Aircalin was expected to wind down services over the weekend but the government ordered an immediate halt.

The government said exceptions would be granted for emergency flights.

It also asked Aircalin to help with plans to repatriate residents still outside New Caledonia.

CNMI implements curfew

Even as two samples of suspected Covid-19 cases came back negative, the Northern Marianas is continuing to safeguard against a potential outbreak of the coronavirus by instituting a curfew on minors.

Governor Ralph Torres directed the Department of Public Safety and CNMI law enforcement officers to strictly enforce curfew laws for minors throughout Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.

This means all people under the age of 18 must remain indoors from 7pm until 6am.

The only exceptions included minors who were accompanied by their parent, guardian, or an adult, who were travelling home or who were lawfully employed during the hours specified.

Anyone who violated the directive could be imprisoned for a period of up to 30 days or be sentenced to up to 250 hours of community service.

On Friday night two specimens submitted to the Guam Public Health Lab were confirmed negative for Covid-19.

The CNMI remains free of Covid-19.

Rangiroa residents told to stay home

Residents of the French Polynesian atoll of Rangiroa have been asked to stay in their homes amid fears the coronavirus has been brought in by students returning from Tahiti.

The public broadcaster reported mayor Teina Maraeura made the appeal after two students showed symptoms of the disease.

People have been advised to shelter and await test results.

The students came from Tahiti where boarding schools have been closed because of the outbreak.

Two flights were arranged by Air Tahiti to return the students.

The airline will keep operating until Sunday when internal flights will be restricted to emergency missions ordered by the government.

French Polynesia had 11 confirmed cases of coronavirus as of Friday evening NZT.

Cook Islanders to receive power discounts

Power company Te Aponga Uira is providing free electricity to consumers in the Cook Islands due to the challenges posed by the pandemic.

The Cook Islands News reports the company’s package of assistance will see a reduction of electricity costs by 100 percent for domestic users, and by 60 percent for businesses in Rarotonga, effective from the first metre reading from yesterday until June.

The discounts are also being extended to the island of Aitutaki.

Te Aponga says they hope the discounts would help businesses keep people employed, and helps households weather these difficult times.

Another day and four new cases of COVID-19 have tested positive in neighboring Guam, as the U.S. territory continues to grapple with an outbreak of the coronavirus.

The Guam Joint Information Center said that four tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. The Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services tested 16 individuals suspected of having the virus. Twelve tested negative; for were positive.

Of the four new cases, one had travel history. The three others confirmed on Wednesday, March 18, had no travel history.

In all, a total of 81 tests were performed from March 12, 2020 through March 19, 2020 with conclusive results. To date, a total of 12 cases have tested positive in Guam and 69 cases tested negative.

As part of the GovGuam’s coordinated COVID-19 response, the DPHSS continues contact tracing for the 12 positive COVID-19 cases identified this week. The contact tracing investigation includes identifying close contacts of the individuals. Close contacts may include family members and co-workers who will be quarantined and actively monitored by DPHSS for 14 days after their last contact with the case.

Additionally, GovGuam has instituted COVID-19 Mandatory Quarantine Protocol (MQP) measures for all incoming travelers. Any and all travelers arriving without these credentials will be subject to mandatory quarantine.

Torres orders curfew for minors

In the CNMI, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres has directed the Department of Public Safety and all CNMI law enforcement officers to strictly enforce the curfew laws for minors throughout Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.

This means all minors (persons under the age of 18) must remain indoors from 7pm until 6am.

This is in line with the implementation of the Amended Executive Order 2020-004, which placed the CNMI under the state of public health emergency and a continued state of significant emergency.

“In an effort to reduce the risks of the spread of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth, I issued Directive No. 2020-005 which extends the applicable curfew hours for all minors (people under the age of 18) in the Commonwealth to 7pm until 6am as we continue our public health emergency,” Torres said.

The governor is urging the entire community to have all minors home by 7pm, not just for their safety but for the safety of the entire community.

“This is part of our social distancing policy, meaning if we all do it together, we can limit the rise of new COVID-19 infections here in the Marianas,” Torres said.

Pursuant to curfew laws, the only exceptions include minors who are accompanied by their parent, guardian, or an adult, who are in the direct route driving and returning home, or who are lawfully employed during the hours specified.

Under the directive, it is illegal for minors to loiter from 7pm until 6am, in or about any public streets, highways, roads, alleys, parks, public buildings, places of amusement and entertainment, restaurants, cafes and other eateries, or vacant lots and places, in all of the CNMI.

Anyone who violates this directive may be imprisoned for a period not to exceed 30 days, and up to 250 hours of community service.

Minors found in violation may be cited or arrested and detained, and be subjected to the provisions of the juvenile court law.

The curfew is to remain in effect until the emergency declaration has been lifted or until further notice.

Police officers are directed to enforce these new temporary curfew hours.

In a separate press release, DPS said it will be strictly be enforcing the curfew laws.

Torres’ COVID-19 Task Force and the police advise the public to refrain from making unnecessary trips to public places and to limit public exposure to grocery store trips and food pick-ups.

Amended EO

Torres also amended his EO by adding a sub-section on interisland travel within the Commonwealth. It now directs any individual entering the CNMI, whose ultimate destination is the island of Tinian or Rota, to exercise the 14-day self-quarantine on Saipan before proceeding to their final destination.

The 14-day self-quarantine is mandatory for individuals traveling from a country with an identified COVID-19 outbreak, including Hawaii, Guam, and the continental U.S.

Upon successful completion of the quarantine period, the Commonwealth Health Care Corp. shall issue a document stating that individual is clear of COVID-19. The individual must then present the document to any vessel or airline when checking in for a flight or vessel to Tinian and Rota. An individual without the document will not be allowed to procced to his/her next destination.
