Interisland travel quarantine lifts Tuesday, More reopening Friday
June 16, 2020
Aloha Neighbor,
READY, SET, GO….INTERISLAND TRAVEL: Starts Tomorrow
June 16 – at 12:01 a.m.– starts the opening of interisland travel. That means the 14-day quarantine is lifted, but travel will be different. For more details see: https://health.hawaii.gov/travel/. For our own protection, travelers will go through thermal screening at the airport and anyone with a fever of 100.4 degrees or greater will not be allowed to board. Passengers must also complete a mandatory travel and health form, which may be filled out online here. Let’s support our airlines and local businesses across the state — and do our part in making travel safe by physical distancing and wearing our face masks.
We’re not yet there on lifting the quarantine for out-of-state travelers—it continues in place until July 31. See the 9th supplementary emergency proclamation giving Governor the flexibility to reopen travel when the state is ready, and authorizing exemptions for transit corridors/bubbles with other destinations having low virus incidence.
MORE RE-OPENING COMING FRIDAY
As we continue to reopen and allow for more congregating (safely), we will continue to see increases in cases. With the various events over the past couple weeks –and opening Waikiki Sunday —we will see the double digit numbers. Many people will not survive an encounter with the virus, and many businesses can’t survive a second shutdown, so it is in everyone’s best interest to prevent the spread of this virus. To keep the numbers manageable as we enjoy these outings — practice physical distancing, mask up, and wash your hands regularly. The following designated business and operations, with limitations, will be opening this coming Friday, June 19:
Education and care facilities (private education, adult care, special needs care facilities),
