  1. Blangiardi is correct, the panic caused by complicit Media to the Politically driven Panic message, has been identified by Fauci, who now, himself understands ‘Cases’ are not the question with the Omicron strain. Sadly, Ige is looking for another bailout with FEMA, with the U.S. Taxpayer paying for the policies Ige initiated with the firing of 2,000 First Responders, Fire, EMT and Police as well as unvaccinated Hospital staff! The Hawaii Hospital situation is one of State Infrastructure!

    Aloha Guys

  3. Thank you for your ongoing updates! With the weekly changes, and the regulations on each island different, I’m sure I speak for all your readers saying “Thank you!”

    Could you please clarify.. we arrive in Maui in 2 wks. preflight Covid testing for Maui? I haven’t seen that requirement anywhere anymore. Boosters for indoor dining only? Not needed for hotel check in?
    Thx!!

    1. Hi Cheryl.

      Thanks! You didn’t mention if you are flying directly to Maui from the mainland or via Honolulu for example. If via another island, there is no testing or vaccination requirement. That only applies when flying from the mainland.

      As for hotels, there is no requirement unless it is specific to your hotel. And yes on restaurants, when indoors only.

      Aloha.

  4. Thanks so much for your diligence on all matters Hawaii Please clarify when a booster can be given. I am just recently double vaxed. August. Leaving Saturday to Maui
    Thanks so much

    1. Hi Randy.

      There is no clarification we are aware of as far as when you were vaccinated. So it would be safe to assume that in your situation you would require a booster for indoor dining on Maui.

      Aloha.

      1. Exactly the clarification I am looking for. If you received your last shot (2nd of 3) October 20th, would you need a booster to dine indoors on Maui by January 20th? Because it says you are not eligible for a booster until 6 months after a Pfeizer or Moderna shot. It has not been 6 months in this instance so would seem the 2 shots should be accepted.

  5. So I just created a new trip record on the ST website (we head back over later this month). Immediately got the QR code without filling out the quarantine exemption info. Is this because the state already has my vax info from past trips and I don’t have to keep filling out the same info (can government be that smart?)?

    Or is it because getting a QR code has nothing to do with the quarantine exemption request?

    Anyone??

      1. Thanks, Ed. I hope this is the case. We’ll take the physical cards with us to airport, just in case. When we left Kauai most recently, no restaurants or other places that we went to were asking for vax cards, but I suppose that can change.

          1. Thanks. We generally avoid the big tourist hotel restaurants, except once every few years we’ll go to the Happy Talk at the HBR. Did you have to show them the piece of paper, or was a picture of it on your phone enough?

  6. Aloha,
    Not traveling until 1/15 to Kauai but got our QR codes today! Whew!! Hated waiting until the last minute to be cleared, needed it all for the condo. BTW all are vaxed and boosted.

    1. We received ours today as well. We travel 2/1/21. My in-laws, who will join us 4/19, received their QR codes today also. All vaccinated and boosted, too. Very helpful to get the codes ahead of item as the in-laws are not technically adept. 🙂

  7. Crazy how the science is really only what the public will put up with and what the big businesses deem appropriate.

    Why even bother with this nonsense when Omni is like a mild flu?

    I been traveling the states and people not living in fear or greed are over covid.

    Follow the science is literally a propaganda statement where real science is trampled on just like with cyber security and the patriot act. Lack of critical thinking is a major factor.

    1. Biggest scam of our lifetime. Sadly we put up with it so the government will continue as long as they can to take our freedoms away.
      People don’t die from the latest variant. That is a fact. They no longer publish deaths from Covid, but just cases. Who cares!!
      Publishing the number of people with colds is all it is 😂🤣

      1. People do die from this variant that is a fact. Check the data from the UK and South Africa. Not as deadly as delta but still capable of killing people. Maybe not you but perhaps someone you care about. You live in a country that has already killed 800000 citizens. You are #1 in the world. Not really something to be proud of.

  8. Happy New Year everyone, confusion about the new cdc rules is not just a Hawaii issue, but a nation wide issue, with flight cancelations thrown in it would be prudent to be patient when planning your Hawaiian vacation until omicron runs it’s course. Aloha and stay safe

  9. If “Mandatory State of Hawaii Travel and Health Form” is being dropped, is the QR code being dropped too?

  10. I must have missed the announcement about the 24 hour before departure health questionnaire being dropped. I woke up this morning with an email from Safe Travels with my QR code attached. I thought it was some kind of scam until I checked my Safe Travels account and saw the QR code on my trip.

    Aloha, BOH! We return in 3 short weeks!

    1. Hi Ed,

      How long did it take to get your QR code? When did you fill out the Safe Travels? We leave Feb 10 and are waiting to get our booster before will submit the form. TIA

      1. JANM – I filled out the Safe Travels forms a few weeks ago, and uploaded new CDC cards with booster information since we have been boosted since our last trip in September. I believe the health questionnaire was dropped today,which is why I received our QR codes today. I would assume as soon as you upload your information and request quarantine exemption you will receive your QR code. It might possibly take a few hours, I honestly don’t remember how long it took on our last 2 trips.

      2. JANM – also, “currently” there is no requirement to be boosted before traveling. You can go ahead and upload your CDC card now and unless things change (which personally I don’t think they will) you are good to go.

      3. We leave for Kona Jan. 13th. We uploaded pics of our vaccination cards this evening, and our QR codes were immediately emailed to us. Very easy process!
