HONOLULU (AP) — Authorities say a couple was arrested at a Hawaii airport after traveling on a flight from the U.S. mainland despite knowing they were infected with COVID-19.
The Kauai Police Department says Wesley Moribe and Courtney Peterson were arrested on suspicion of second-degree reckless endangerment.
Officials say Moribe and Peterson took COVID-19 tests in Seattle and received their positive results while flying to San Francisco. They were both asked by officials to isolate but they decided to continue on to Hawaii where they live.
