I’ve been informed my test result for COVID-19 is negative. While I’m relieved to hear this news, there are thousands of people on our island struggling with this illness, and thousands more wondering if they’re safe.— Kirk Caldwell (@MayorKirkHNL)Officials said at least 1,000 city employees were to be tested.“It was determined that the best and most effective way for these employees that are working for the city and county knowing that they use these public spaces was to do broad scale testing,” said Dr. Scott Miscovich of Premier Medical Group.Additionally, Caldwell says Honolulu Hale will be closed effective at 4:30 p.m. Monday except for limited interactions with the public. Most city workers will be working remotely until further notice.“I am also urging that at the close of business today that all legislative branch employees when possible work from elsewhere outside of Honolulu Hale,” said Council Chair Ikaika Anderson.Anderson says Wednesday’s council meeting will be postponed and will be rescheduled in a different format.Oahu is consistently seeing triple-digit increases in new corona virus infections, and Health Department officials have warned that the virus is spreading uncontrolled in the community.Since the start of the pandemic, some 48 city employees have tested positive for COVID-19. That number includes firefighters, paramedics and other city employees.Daryl Frederick got tested Monday. He works for the Design and Construction Department in the Frank Fasi building.“I get these results in about 5 days. The first time I took the test which was about three days and hopefully this one will be negative as well,” he said.“The mood is pretty jovial. People are just going through the motions. I think a lot of people are anxious and eager to learn what their results are,” he added.Copyright 2020 Hawaii News Now. All rights reserved.
