100 thoughts on “Arriving Hawaii Visitors Can Expect These Changes Ahead”
Nan P.
We have a trip planned for Oct 5, 2020. Will covid testing still be required 72 hrs prior to traveling to Maui, Hawaii from the mainland? If no test is required, will we be able to tour Maui or be stuck in the resort?
Am I to understand that with all of this in place there will still be a quarantine required, in addition to the testing and the tracking app? It would be interesting to find out what steps are being taken to keep the information secure. So many plans, it’s hard to keep track of what’s in place, what’s been discarded, and what’s in the planning stages. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
This is great news and I hope it proves to be effective. Now, if they could just find a way for visitors to feel welcomed again; after all the posts I’ve seen about how the locals feel about tourists, I’m not sure that I want to visit somewhere that I’m not welcome. Mahalo for keeping us informed and up-to-date. You are a blessing. Aloha.
We love you Hawaii, we are so greatful that you are taking these measures to protect the Hawaiian Islands, your residents and inbound travelers..we cannot wait to come back to hawaii knowing that we are safe and can enjoy the most beautiful places in the United states. Thank you.
What a comprehensive & detailed system you’ve put in ace to protect both residents & travellers from the virus! It shows what a well-informed & science driven government can accomplish when left to their own devices to use knowledge be & resources to their best advantage for both health & economic purposes. I applaud you, Hawaii!
I hope I’m not breaking the rules, but this morning I found this article “Paradise lost: How Hawaii went from Covid-19 star to cautionary tale” on Politco.
I pulled this one paragraph from the story:
Only a handful of states have conducted fewer tests per capita than Hawaii — a performance so dismal that Surgeon General Jerome Adams was dispatched to the state this week to announce federal support for 70,000 tests over the next two weeks. The state only has about 100 contact tracers, well short of the 400-plus tracers public health experts say are needed, and the governor earlier this month replaced the head of the contact tracing program after a whistleblower claimed Hawaii’s health department misled residents about the state’s preparedness.
It’s a very good read I can only imagine how high Hawaii’s positive covid cases will be during this 2 week period. Today positive cases hit 310.
Wow…. So, what happens when a tourist gets the “COVID Fever” an hour after arrival?
I’m going to assume there will be other SAFETY REQUIREMENTS and hoops to jump through….? The fever thing is completely unreliable. They probably should have spent more effort acquiring or researching the best a quickest access to COVID tests? But… I guess after 6 months, a Thermal scanner with facial recognition is the big winner? At least the company that sells the Thermal scanner is the BIG WINNER…. hahaha
In other news, there are other islands in the Caribbean and Pacific who have come up with “REAL” Testing concepts….
Aloha Rob and Jeff – Thank you for keeping all of us as up to date on what is going on with travel to and from Hawaii as you can. It is appreciated! In reading this post, it still seems there will be a quarantine period for all travelers arriving to Hawaii. Is this still true? Isi it still a 14 day quarantine? Thanks for always answering the questions we all seem to have.
Mahalo!
Thank you. There is no change in the 14-day quarantine. Also no exceptions for testing, which was last expected to be starting October 1. It is not likely that the date will be met by the state, however.
Aloha Rob and Jeff.
Mahalo for keeping us all in the loop!
Your comments are very interesting. As I was unable to get to the Islands this year, I took the opportunity to travel to Spain and it does much the same as you suggest for Hawai’i. You need to pre fill a form and you receive a QR code to be shown at the airport as you arrive. It all works very smoothly. (There is no screening, just a declaration of good health.)
I’m just longing for my next visit to Maui and Kaua’i now booked for January next. When the New measures are set in place can you tell me if European visitors and all foreign tourists will be able to visit? I would need a plane change on mainland USA and would hate to be turned around there.
Mahalo for all the updates and here’s hoping everyone is keeping well. Let’s hope everything recovers fairly quickly.
This week the CDC quietly updated the death count of COVID to admit that only 6% of the 161,392 deaths in the United States actually died from the virus. That’s 9,682 deaths, in a country of 327 million. That’s .0000296%. The other 94% had 2-3 existing comorbidities that caused their death and 148,083 of the 161,392 deaths + 90% were over 55 years of age. It’s times to take our lives back listen to the real science and end this tyranny before it’s too late.
No need to post the actual CDC numbers. The person citing that fake news based it on fake social media posts that have been discredited since they began in May. The CDC just reported an expected 200,000 deaths by Sept. 19, and its site also has info on how that number is actually an underreporting of deaths. A separate section if the CDC web site deals with excess deaths for this year and probable links to CV19.
Please be very careful believing posts that carry no substantiation. Please by all means Verify my post.
As always, mahalo to BOH for bringing us the news. I checked the hidot website and read their press release. My reaction… Another “safe travels Hawaii” website? A new and improved one? Or just recycling the old one? Aside from the QR code in the new Safe Travels, it doesn’t sound much different from the old Safe Travels Hawaii website that was in place in June and July, and which the arrival quarantine screeners at HNL didn’t seem to know about. “That’s handled by another group,” quote/unquote the verbatim surprising response I received in June from the screener. Hope this iteration “works”. Otherwise Hawaii is going round n round in circles, or dare I say it’s a puppy chasing its tail.
Please repost Ashley’s reply. What is scary is that our population blindly follows every ludicrous requirement even though the science does not support those actions. We need to stop this madness now!!
It’s disheartening to see all this money spent on temperature taking.
Taking one’s temperature is a very low-yield test—many asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic carriers
of nCovid19 do not have fevers. And generally, people (adults specifically) feel lousy when they have
even a low-grade fever, meaning, a fever is usually a late sign.
These measures really seem to be worth trying. The biggest concern I can see with this plan is the potential weak point of too few staff and maybe a little too much reliance on a “guarantee” we expect out of technology.
Having said that, I think we have to try it. It seems reasonable as far as risk. We know there will still be a perceived “spike” in cases as nothing absent a “cure” is guaranteed. Still, we must try to resist the natural reaction to overreact. We simply must try to put the toe in the proverbial water and see. We cannot just wait to wait.
This plan to date does sound the most reasonable balance between those that would wait forever, vs those who insist Covid 19 is some sort of hoax. Let’s go forward!! …..With caution!!
You can also print it out. Here is the info from the safe travels website:
“The State of Hawaii is announcing a new online Safe Travels application will be mandatory for all travelers on Sept. 1. This new digital application, which collects the required health and travel information, is critical to protecting the health of our residents and visitors alike. Safe Travels is one part of a multi-layered screening process which includes arrival temperature checks, and secondary screening for those with symptoms or temperatures of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Travelers are encouraged to enter their information and trip details well in advance of their flight. Once their health information is entered within 24 hours of departure, travelers will receive a QR code via email. The QR code on their mobile device or printed on paper gets scanned by the airport screener upon arrival. More information on the process can be found by clicking here.
Ok, I am so done with Hawaii. Your governor is loco. I would rather travel where I am can roam around. The poor staff that have lost their jobs. Lots of unemployment. Too late.. I have a brother on Haleiwa, Think I will stay mainland. Adios Hawaii!
It seems like this novel Safe Travel App for Visitors is really an App to help the Hawaii Arrival Inspectors and Hawaii Government to check information and record information. It is not to allow vistiors to come without the 14 day quarnatine which is what visitors really want, not a record keeping system
Are you kidding??? Correct me if I’m wrong but the reason the “leadership” didn’t embrace this temperature surveillance earlier is that it is possible to reduce a fever with medication. So once again, the government is spending millions to do something dumb- who is accountable for yet, another failed attempt to “protect” the people? When is the government going to admit that we can’t outrun a virus? This temperature monitoring is ridiculous and the facial recognition is just the beginning of much more surveillance. It will never go away, there will be another excuse to keep it. And then there will be more proclamations, decrees, regulations to keep us “safe”. Beware.
Temperature checks are of very little value. The vast majority of people who are shedding virus do not have fevers. We do it at many institutions including my hospital, but again very little value.
Wow,Safe Travels sure sounds like Big Brother type tracking to me.
The wife and I don’t own a smart phone for them to transmit a Q code to. How will children be dealt with, will every individual have to have a phone to get their Q code for entry?
How is the facial recognition going to work with everyone wearing masks and face coverings?
Wow, what a world we are heading towards.
Mahalo
How about this as a revised protocol? Antigen test results 72 hours or earlier before flight. Note: this could be done day-of, but advance test allows a positive to call air and accommodations. Upon arrival antigen test provided by airline In flight and submitted upon deplaning. After four days, a final antigen test submitted, as in French Polynesia. A positive would require quarantine.
Though local community spread is the current culprit, this would answer the question of importing the virus through travel.
Does anyone expect a government who has been spying on us in every way possible won’t use this opportunity to add new big brother monitoring into our lives?
I don’t believe they won’t use that info to profile people and keep tabs on everyone. And taxpayers will pay for it 😊
They already legalized selling and trading our personal data in all forms. And fraud went crazy.
Hopefully Hawaii will be decently accessible in 2021 but I wouldn’t want to give up future rights for everyone just to enjoy my vacation during a pandemic 🤦🏽♂️
I have two weeks scheduled for April at ko olina but I am not reserving a car or buying a plane ticket yet…not looking good on the mainland. Kids going back to school could make bad things happen this fall and winter.
Wow..the best Governor Ige can do? I applaud those working to remove a leader with no plan to save a state or its economy. Next step…oh increase taxes, for all that own or want to travel to the state because a Governor stopped and killed the economy.
From other articles I’ve read about this new website/app – Yes, the 14 day quarantine is still in place for all visitors. This is just a way for them to streamline the current paperwork. Eventually it appears the goal is to try and use this app as a location GPS tracker for the government to monitor your location during the required quarantine. Not impressed personally.
I agree completely. Additionally, I have two friends who tested positive for Covid and had symptoms, however, neither of them had a temperature over 98 degrees.
That’s the great part about being a consumer, we actually get to vote with our dollars. Hopefully, the World will find its way back from our current fate, soon!
I agree with Chris M…will just wait this out…I love Hawaii and miss going to visit for a week or two each year. But I feel it is safer for me and for Hawaii that I pause for a year or two, hopefully this will be better for all in 2021 or 2022. Aloha to all.
At the same time, our Covid number and hospitalization situation is rapidly deterioriating, with numbers spiking in both Oahu and now also here on Hawai’i Island. (A record of 38 cases on the Big Island alone today.) As such, I believe that all bets on reopening tourism are purely speculative.
This was in place for my Aug 2020 trip and all went smooth. What this does not address is the outer islands require a seperate form and do not except the online form. They want it filled out manually. The only island I had issues with was Kauai. They are in their own world and only except Kauai County forms.
We have a trip planned for Oct 5, 2020. Will covid testing still be required 72 hrs prior to traveling to Maui, Hawaii from the mainland? If no test is required, will we be able to tour Maui or be stuck in the resort?
Hi Nan.
We don’t know what the state’s plans are yet. Please stay tuned.
Aloha.
Thank you!
Am I to understand that with all of this in place there will still be a quarantine required, in addition to the testing and the tracking app? It would be interesting to find out what steps are being taken to keep the information secure. So many plans, it’s hard to keep track of what’s in place, what’s been discarded, and what’s in the planning stages. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Hi Lee.
That’s our understanding, although much clarification is needed as to what the state is planning.
Aloha.
These plans sound good- if they can keep the information secure. Hope they can work the “bugs” out of the system before our trip in March of 2021.
This is great news and I hope it proves to be effective. Now, if they could just find a way for visitors to feel welcomed again; after all the posts I’ve seen about how the locals feel about tourists, I’m not sure that I want to visit somewhere that I’m not welcome. Mahalo for keeping us informed and up-to-date. You are a blessing. Aloha.
Hi Debi.
Thanks so much!

Sounds like a good plan! Can’t wait to be back in the islands soon!!! Aloha & Mahalo!!🤙😊❤🌺🍍🌴
Hi 808 W.
Thanks.
Aloha.
Thinking I’d appreciate a chip in my brain to give up absolute & complete control of my being, once & for all.
This sounds overly complicated to experience a tropical vacation.
Taking the aloha out of Hawaii.
Locals; Hawaii’s safety first, so don’t misunderstand my issue with government. I’d feel this way about Omaha, Seattle, Saturn.
Aloha Rob and Jeff

It’s a very good read I can only imagine how high Hawaii’s positive covid cases will be during this 2 week period. Today positive cases hit 310.
Hi Richard.
Thank you.

Aloha!
The information about the app sounds promising. Hopefully can arrange a Kauai visit in October if not sooner.
Mahalo
Hi Dale.
Thanks.
Aloha.
aloha, sounds like a very interesting idea….anxious to see how it works. do you keep us updated on rules coming into the islands
No thanks
Just big government watching you

Hi Michael.
Thank you. We don’t know the answer to your question about foreign tourism resuming. Hopefully, the state will let us all know soon.
Aloha.
Thats a Lie!!! They will not erase any if your data. SNOWDEN NSA RING A BELL?? WISE UP PEOPLE. We are living in a POLICE STATE!!!
Aloha I Think every state is getting that way. Very scary! That’s why Nov 3 is very important. Take care!
This week the CDC quietly updated the death count of COVID to admit that only 6% of the 161,392 deaths in the United States actually died from the virus.

Can you tell me where to see this updated CDC data online?
I’d like to have a link to that data, please.
Hi Gwen.
We do not permit links in comments. References to articles, titles, and publishers are fine.
Aloha.
Please post CDC article…..
Hi Mike.
We no longer allow links to be posted in comments. That per our updated https://beatofhawaii.com/comment-policy.

Amen Ashley! It is time we take back our freedoms and not bow to the deep state.
Is it just me or are the moderators of this site comfortable wit QAnons?
Thank you, Ashley.
Sounds like we need to get people back to work and school. To find the article just google CDC Covid 6% deaths.
Moderators, please reply why this was allowed to be posted?! This is completely false report from QAnon.

Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Invasion of your rights. “Papers please’

For the SafeTravels app can I print out the code or will I required to have/carry a smartphone?

Sounds like the covid paranoia level is lowering. Still has a way to go. Looking forward to spending my tourist dollars when it does return to normal.
Thank you for your updates. I’m confused? Is the 14 day quarantine still in place along with these additional requirements? Thank you.
Linda
Hi Linda.
There is no change in the 14-day quarantine at this time. We’ll advise as soon as we learn more. These will be in effect in any regard.
ALoha.
Are you kidding??? Correct me if I’m wrong but the reason the “leadership” didn’t embrace this temperature surveillance earlier is that it is possible to reduce a fever with medication.

Seems ambitious for Hawaii to create a plan effective next week, but the app/website isn’t completed yet. I’ll keep waiting …
Temperature checks are of very little value. The vast majority of people who are shedding virus do not have fevers. We do it at many institutions including my hospital, but again very little value.

I’m not even considering going until June 2021 — it’s just too disappointing to keep getting my hopes up *shrug*
Yes, it is and oahu is closed down except for essential businesses.
Sounds like way too much trouble. Better to wait until a better scenario is available.
I agree completely. Additionally, I have two friends who tested positive for Covid and had symptoms, however, neither of them had a temperature over 98 degrees.
Agreed, Chris.
That’s the great part about being a consumer, we actually get to vote with our dollars. Hopefully, the World will find its way back from our current fate, soon!

Are we still looking at a 10/1 date for yea/nea info?
Officially, yes.
At the same time, our Covid number and hospitalization situation is rapidly deterioriating, with numbers spiking in both Oahu and now also here on Hawai’i Island. (A record of 38 cases on the Big Island alone today.) As such, I believe that all bets on reopening tourism are purely speculative.
So all this quarantine and still a Covid problem in Hawaii? Hmmmm, good luck to the economy.
This was in place for my Aug 2020 trip and all went smooth. What this does not address is the outer islands require a seperate form and do not except the online form. They want it filled out manually. The only island I had issues with was Kauai. They are in their own world and only except Kauai County forms.
