What about these possible changes coming to Hawaii Safe Travels.
Comments are closed.
Here’s a viable model suggestion;
“On February one, the Public is Done!”, and the public just ignores all mandates.
Thanks for the comment space.
This is the best idea. I would vote for this!
Here’s the practice of the model;
take the mask and shove it in your pocket. If asked by any Business Employee, politely respond with, “Oh, I thought we were following the science. Okay.” Put on the mask. I give it until the end of the week before they give up policing masks.
Thanks.
Psst!
(Omicron doesn’t care about your mask or vaccination status)
“He went on to say that “the Western world, as well as the World Health Organization, recognize and understand that aviation is not a cause for further morbidity and restrictions on movement… have been found to be an ineffective tool in preventing the spread of the virus.”
Apparently Hawaii/Ig/Green are not part of the “Western world”
Maybe after 5 or 6 boosters, they’ll quietly join. HaHa I keed.
This all is totally all insane, thousands of people die every from the flu and it is never reported daily to scare and control people.
We need to wake up people.
This is just another type of flu we need go on with our lives and deal with just like we have done with the flu since 1930.
Unfortunately your source of information is incorrect, thousands of people do not die of the flu everyday. In fact part of the reason they don’t is because they get vaccinated against the flu virus, and the vaccines are modified to address the different strains every year. COVID can be addressed the same way, but it is far more deadly and contagious than the common flu.
Flu shots are based on the previous strain. Not the new one that mutates every year…hence why the flu never goes away. As far as comments regarding the flu, imagine if we tracked it as much as we have Covid? I would like to see big brother tracking on the flu to the extent Covid has been tracked before anyone debunks that observation. Reality of the situation is we have to learn to live with Covid. How many variants and how many years will it take for people to realize this?
Isreal is smart/ Covid is here to stay. Learn to live with it so you can live your life. And start accepting that there is natural immunity. I had it last summer, have not been sick since.
I really think they should request proof of vaccination and antigen tests done within 24 hrs plus continue with sanitary protocols. Face masks, social distancing, hand sanitizers etc. We all have to learn to live with this unfortunate scenario. Coronavirus and it’s variants are here to stay.
The CDC admitted that distancing was a made up number with no scientific basis behind it! And if masks and vaccines actually worked then camp chaos would have been over a long time ago except for those still living in and with fear! False Expectations About Reality!
I have been practicing what I mentioned above, and so far I have not caught COVID. I’ve travelled, I frequently go to restaurants etc. Something must be working for me, don’t you think?
MC –
I am not vaccinated, stopped wearing a badge of servitude (sorry, a mask) about 3 months after this all started, I travel, eat in restaurants and bars, have not physically distanced nor used hand sanitizers. Now, I do cover my mouth when I cough or sneeze, I wash my hands with soap and water before I eat (sometimes), I take supplements that strengthen my own immune system and I have also not caught COVID… Something must be working for me don’t you think?
Sorry, you make no sense. Good luck with your choices!
How about talking to people who have had it? It felt just like the flu in my opinion. Not as bad, actually. Everyone I know who has had it says the same 🤷♀️
What did the people that died say?
Not everyone I know. Several I know were very ill, and 4 died. Good for everyone in your circle, but it is beyond obvious so many aren’t so lucky.
You may live with these healthcare restritve policies…but please don’t force the rest if us to follow you.
Vaxed masked socially distanced transmit too
I will be traveling to the big island (Kona) on the 22nd and am unvaccinated. Will there be any changes to the requirements for me to enter? I know that I must have negative test results prior to landing in Hawaii from a trusted partner but do you foresee any changes to my circumstances for flying or indoor dinning on the big island? I hear indoor dining is per the discretion of the restaurant to require or not. Mahalo!
Hi Candi.
We don’t have further information yet but you can be sure we’ll publish whatever we learn between now and then.
Aloha.
Sorry to bother you but I want to make sure there are no surprises. Once I test negative and land in Kona, will I be asked to test again at the airport upon arrival? If so who pays for this and/or how much is it? I will be there 7 days, I understand that I will Not have to test to come home, the requirements for testing are from the state of Hawaii not the airlines or the state fo CA, correct?
Yes, correct, not airlines, not CA, just HI. I was re-tested at the airport my first entry in Nov ’20, the State paid, but no guarantee what new rules will be.
Thanks.
I live here on the big island and I am unvaccinated. You won’t have any problem eating indoors. We do it all the time. I probably wouldn’t broadcast that you aren’t vaccinated, the whole thing has really divided communities across the nation. We have, or had friends that we don’t see anymore because they’ve all drank the Kool-Aid and believe that you absolutely have to be vaccinated.
What is happening on Maui? We arrived 1/30/22 and were asked for an ID and boarding pass to get out of the airport. No concern for vaccination cards or wristbands. And, why a boarding pass after we completed our flight?
So what happens if you are “vaccinated” (had 2 shots) but aren’t eligible to receive the booster yet? My husband and I are supposed to come to Hawaii on February 26th for a week, but we aren’t even eligible to get a booster shot until late April. Are they going to let us come since our “vaccine potency” is still very strong or are we going to have to postpone our trip?
Great question, I’m in the same boat. Thanks for asking.
This information is very valuable as I travel to Hawaii at least once a year and hope to twice this year- Maui’s idea of having a booster is great- most of my age group in Western canada have both vaccinations and a booster.
Wasn’t Trudeau double-vaxxed and boosted?
Yes…I think our country needs to be living alongside of the Virus. I also think that people need to look at themselves when it comes to what they need so that they are not suffering co-morbidities. I know that some folks have autoimmune things going on and what have you, but I also believe that we need to be more responsible for things like obesity as a nation.
Teach those who can be more healthy to do so and prove to insurance companies that wellness also includes preventatives!
Hey BoH –
I keep getting differing answers to the question:
“If I’m traveling to Hawaii and I don’t get tested prior to arrival, what are the procedures?”
I think I understand that I must quarantine for 5 days, but some have told me 10 days, can you clarify this for me?
Thanks!
Hi Ross.
It changed from 10 days to 5 days. https://health.hawaii.gov/news/newsroom/doh-revises-states-isolation-quarantine-policy/
Aloha.
BoH –
Thank you! I have a follow-up… I can’t seem to find info on whether I can travel to Hawaii without getting tested, is getting tested a requirement?
Hi Ross.
The exception to either testing or vaccination is to quarantine for five days on arrival.
Aloha.
