Hawaii Will Lift Restrictions For Vaccinated U.S. Travelers On July 8 2021 By Stewart Yerton

Hawaii will lift quarantine and pre-travel testing requirements for travelers from the mainland who can show proof of receiving a COVID-19 vaccination early next month, Gov. David Ige said Thursday.

The governor also announced he would ease restrictions on social gatherings and restaurants.

In a move designed to let businesses prepare for the change, Ige set a firm date of July 8 for the changes.

The changes come as Hawaii’s number of new COVID-19 cases drops and the rate of people who have been vaccinated statewide inches toward 60%. The state’s pandemic curve meanwhile has flattened to an average of 39 new cases per day, compared to a peak of more than 300 new cases per day last summer.

People vaccinated in Hawai have been able to fly freely from the mainland since June 15. The new change now extends that policy to all travelers from the mainland, no matter what state they were vaccinated in.

Ige also said the maximum number of people allowed at social gatherings will increase from 10 to 25 indoors and from 25 to 75 outdoors. Restaurants will be able to operate at 75% capacity, with parties of 25 indoors and 75 outdoors. People still must wear masks for indoor gatherings, Ige said.

“This milestone is truly something to celebrate,” the governor said.

To sidestep the quarantine by using vaccination records, travelers must upload their vaccination records onto the state’s COVID-19 “Safe Travels” website and bring a hard copy of their vaccination record with them, Ige said.
