HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - State offices, courts, and University of Hawaii campuses will be closed on Oahu and Kauai on Monday, the governor announced.

City offices on Oahu and county offices on Kauai will also be closed Monday.

Only designated response workers will need to report to work.

“Out of concern and an abundance of caution for our employees and the public, we’re closing our offices tomorrow,” Caldwell said. “The first priority is to protect the lives of yourself and your family. Please secure all loose items outside your home, and stay inside.”
