    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.

      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.

    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!

    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

    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.
