    aloha, sounds like a very interesting idea….anxious to see how it works. do you keep us updated on rules coming into the islands

    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!

      Hi Judy.

      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.

    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.

    Mahal and Aloha.

      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.

      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. 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.

        Hi Gwen.

        We do not permit links in comments. References to articles, titles, and publishers are fine.

        Aloha.

        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.

      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.

    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!!
