An Indiana couple vacationing in Hawaii is being kept in isolation there after testing positive for the coronavirus.

The couple told health officials that they had close contact with someone on the mainland before traveling to Hawaii, and visited urgent care facilities on two of the islands when they began to exhibit symptoms.

Both patients are said to be improving.

Do we know if they found out about the positive test of their contact when they were on vacation, or before they left?
