Department of Finance Lahaina Division of Motor Vehicles & Licensing issued the following announcement on Dec. 17.

The Department of Finance Lahaina Division of Motor Vehicles & Licensing office is closed for 10 days, beginning immediately today, after an employee reported testing positive for COVID-19.

The employee is asymptomatic and self-quarantining. Other Lahaina office employees are also self-quarantining and will be contacted by the Department of Health. Additionally, members of the public who were serviced by the employee will be contacted by the Health Department.

“I thank the Department of Finance and its Division of Motor Vehicles & Licensing for taking immediate action to close this office for the health and safety of our employees and the general public,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “We will monitor the health of everyone closely, and the facility will be disinfected and sanitized thoroughly. We continue to remind everyone to diligently follow COVID-19 safety protocols, including wearing face masks, watching physical distancing and washing hands frequently.”

Members of the public who visited the Lahaina office this week are asked to monitor themselves for symptoms and consider getting tested for COVID-19 and/or consulting with their healthcare provider.
