• The man wore a mask during his flight back to Japan, and may have worn a mask during other parts of his travel. "Our focus really is about his whereabouts while he was on Oahu, because that's when he developed symptoms," Park said.Lieutenant governor: One man who spent time with the couple is in isolation
