Hawaii National Guard’s Extra Money For COVID-19 Efforts Is About To Run Out
The loss of federal stimulus funding next month for the Hawaii National Guard will be a significant blow to Hawaii’s COVID-19 response efforts, especially amid fears of more holiday-related hospitalizations and as COVID-19 cases surge on the continent.
Approximately 850 Hawaii National Guard soldiers and airmen have played a major role in the pandemic response in the islands, assisting various state agencies by conducting temperature checks and COVID-19 screening at airports, working as data analysts and contact tracers at the Department of Health, and conducting testing and educational outreach at schools, businesses and low-income neighborhoods.
