89,043 Americans on 926 flights from 132 countries and territories,
I assume the repatriated were subject to a 14 day quarantine of some sort.
All individuals arriving should have been quarantined for 14 days, at home if a resident, or in a hotel if a non resident, and tested frequently. If anyone tests positive, he or she should have immediately been removed and put into isolation to avoid infecting anyone else. Basically what every jurisdiction with a sensible COVID-19 control policy (including Hawaii) is doing right now.
