I have had first shot
Currently have COVID
Do I need anything else
2 or 3 more shots?
Just spit-balling here.
My wife and I are triple vaccinate, but also recently recovered from COVID. We are planning a trip to Maui for mid-February. Confirm we are good to go with our proof of vaccine only?
I should have included that I am a US citizen traveling from California.
I should add that we are US citizens and traveling from California.
Hi,
I am getting very conflicting information
Canadians travelling international direct to Maui
Triple vaccinated. One is covid recovered. i understand you cannot get exception from Quarantine in Maui with COVID recovered/clear to travel documentation if it is from outside of the USA as the certifications are not USA approved
Does anyone have experience with this?
Is it best to get a raid antigen the day before? Positive one month before travel so i assume would be negative but stressful!!!
Hi Trisha
Yes this was the same conflicting info I received too. Doesn’t make sense that our documentation needs to be US certified because that is impossible for a Canadian to do. So we like you will just use the paperwork to come home. And we have rapid tests booked for the day before departure. We did a rapid at home the other day and tested negative so just need to stay that way. Lol. Hope all goes smoothly for you. Thank you for sharing what you learned. This has been very helpful
This is our predicament. Two of the 5 of us travelling have received positive PCR tests in January but are fully recovered. One test was from a pharmacy and one was done by AHS. I think we are planning on getting them the 24 hour test and pray they are negative? I wish they were more clear on accepting from labs in Canada.
My husband and I are double-vaxxed, not eligible for a booster until after February 25 at the earliest. Our trip to Hawaii is February 21-28. We also tested positive for Covid at the end of December 2021. We’ve applied for the vaccination exemption; should we also apply for the “Covid recovery” exemption?
Hello, just wondering what happens if I test positive on my pcr test the day before I travel to Maui and have no symptoms. I am double vaccinated and have the booster. Is a 5 day quarantine sufficient or do I need to quarantine for 14 days, then have a letter from my doctor. Just want to be prepared.
Why would you take a test if you have no symptoms?
But, if you go out of your way to take one, and you hit possible, then don’t get on the airplane. Pretty sure when you check in for any flight these days, you are asked to agree with a statement to the effect that you don’t have COVID.
Sometime during all this BS, a couple who lives on Kauai got themselves arrested for boarding a United flight to Kauai from SF after getting positive tests.
We are Canadians crossing into the USA via land border, then boarding a flight to Maui; it is unclear if a pcr test is needed to get on the plane (seems it is not a requirement for US citizens to fly within the USA, but may be as our point of origin is Canada). We decided to get the pcr test to ensure we are not prohibited from boarding the flight to Maui. So many rules here in Canada, have been planning this trip for two years. Trying to cover every angle.
Hi Karin.
You need to comply with Safe Travels. That should be it in terms of coming to Hawaii.
Aloha.
Hi! I am double vaxxed (two doses) but do not want to get the booster. I know the requirements are changing to Must have booster to be fully vaccinated. I currently have COVID – can I use this as my exemption on top of having a negative test before I fly out one day? Will I be good to go? I fly out 2/19/2022 from US to Maui. THank you!
Hi Liz.
It would seem you can use the Covid recovery exemption as an alternative as long as you comply with its requirements exactly.
Aloha.
What if you have the vaccine exemption already. But got COVID and recovered? Do you still have to file for the recovery exemption even if you have the vaccine exemption already?
Hello! Quick question if anybody could help.
My partner and I both got Covid earlier this month and have a positive PCR test. We are both fully vaccinated and boosted. We will be travelling from Canada to Oahu at the beginning of February. Do we need to apply for this since we are fully vaccinated? Or does anyone know what the procedure would be?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Amanda.
If you are arriving directly from Canada, then you need to follow CDC rules found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel/index.html. That requires a negative PCR test. We aren’t sure where your specific situation fits in. You could have issues if you’re being cleared by the US prior to Canadian departure and/or in Hawaii. You can check with the Atty General of Hawaii for their part, but we arent’ sure about the international part. Let us know how it goes.
Aloha.
So me and my husband are in the same situation. Both Canadian. Tested positive earlier this month. Have recovered. Leaving for Maui on Feb 3. We are fully vaccinated and boosted. I clicked on the CDC link says you will need a positive test result from a viral test taken no more than 90 days before the flight from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider stating you are clear to travel. I have a call into Westjet to confirm this.
Hi Cynthia!
Can you let me know what WestJet says? My fiancé and I both have a positive PCR test from when we had Covid and we just got a letter from our doctor clearing us for travel. Just not too sure if there’s anything else we’re missing.
Hi Amanda
The lady I spoke to from Westjet said we should be fine with our letter from our doctor and the positive PCR test result, but she could not say for sure. So what we’ve decided to do is get the rapid test done 24 hours before we leave, it should be negative at this point and bring all the paperwork and use it for coming home as we would still likely test positive on a PCR test. I am probably overthinking everything but I don’t want problems at the airport.
Same here – can’t seem to get a clear answer.
We all got COVID over the Christmas break, now are 3ple vaxed, have the December PCR tests that show COVID positive, and now we have Doc notes clearing us to travel. -ve Rapid tests for last 3 wks.
Called Westjet was told to call US Border Services… Called US Customs and they said to work with the Airline… So, Antigen tests booked for 24 hours pre-flight… taking all docs and information for the flight home though.
Great, thank you so much for updating! We will likely do the same thing and book rapid tests for 24 hours before our flight. I’m sure it would be fine with our test and doctors note, but don’t want to risk it!
How did you go about getting a letter from doctor? We’re they ok with it?
Hi Cynthia,
We are travelling from Canada too and are covid recovered. We have been told that the dr letter and + result will not be good to bypass quarentine (but good enough to get onplane) we were advised to get a rapid test the day before and use paperwork to get home.
Hi Trisha,
Who told you that the Covid test and dr. note wasn’t good enough? I spoke to a WestJet agent at the airport and they confirmed that the positive test and note is all we will need.
Thanks!
Hawaii will not accept any Positive results unless from a CLIA or CLIP certified lab, which is US certification and no labs have this exact certification in AB or MB (or anywhere in Canada unless military)
If you travel with a Pos results and letter, this is what AC said:
From Air Canada:
They would not be declined boar however they would not qualify for Hawaii’s quarantine relief program upon arrival and would be mandated to quarantine for 5 days.
Hello. I enjoy your regular updates and have used your site as an important resource for Hawaii travel. We were recently there and will be heading back soon.
I think your reply may have some incorrect information. If you follow the link you provided, it says you must have a negative test. Your statement said that it must be a negative PCR test. Due to the recent changes requiring a negative test within 24 hours of travel, receiving the results from a PCR test in that time frame would be tough
Also, the state of Hawaii Covid 19 portal states,
“What are the new CDC requirements?
NON-U.S. citizens traveling directly to Hawai‘i from an international destination must present BOTH a vaccination record AND a negative COVID-19 test result (NAAT or antigen) within one day of boarding a flight to the United States.”
I would happily supply the link if you would like. Thanks for all the great information
Hi Mike.
Thanks for clarifying. We were responding to Amanda, who is already vaccinated, which is why we didn’t restate that obvious vaccination requirement for all arrivals to the US, whether to Hawaii or any other destination.
Aloha.
I was attempting (unsuccessfully) to highlight the fact that you don’t need a PCR test, a negative antigen test would suffice. At least currently
Thanks for clarifying! I also thought it was just a negative antigen test now from Canada to USA (not PCR) along with proof of vaccination.
Hi Amanda.
The CDC site says that for international arrivals to the US, “the test must be a SARS-CoV-2 viral test (nucleic acid amplification test [NAAT] or antigen test) with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) OR the relevant national authority where the test is administered.”
Aloha.
Hi amanda! wondering how your trip went?
thanks!
Just trying to find the simplified answers for Canadians on a direct flight to Maui…..
Fully vaccinated AND a pre entry PCR test but no quarantine necessary
OR
Positive test with medical
Letter cleared for travel ….. ( we are still fully
Vaccinated)
All uploaded to Hawaii Safe travel form!
Hello. I have filled out the form and uploaded the necessary paperwork but I cannot see how to submit it. It still says draft. Can you let me know in the answer to this? Thank you.
Hi Molly.
Many others have done this, so hopefully one will give us a hand here.
Aloha.
MOLLY O… What “form” did you fill out? You need to fill out the trip information and then the correct Exemption Application. If you are vaccinated, you upload your vaccination card. If you have tested, you wouldn’t be uploading anything yet as the test has to be within 72 hours of your flight. The only time you ask for the exemption requiring doctor’s letter and proof of Covid positive is if you haven’t been vaccinated. So you are saying you’ve had Covid and are not vaccinated?
Molly
I think at the top left of the exemption form there is a tab that says ‘submit’ next to. ‘Add traveller and add documents’
I’m still processing my documents but that what i saw 🙂
same thing here.
Hi Molly! I, too, need to know the answer to this because I’m also on “draft”… I leave on Wednesday and have yet to receive an answer when I filled it out last Monday… 🙁
What if you received monoclonal antibody treatment…..can these be used instead of lab test for proof of covid recovery?
According to the blog post on which you are commenting, there is NO test required for proof of COVID recovery. You need a positive test as “proof” you had it, and a letter from MD as “proof” you no longer had it. The letter has to be dated at least ten days after the test, and 14 days before you arrive. The original positive test has to be within 90 days of your arrival. This is a very narrow exemption.
it says you can go 11 days after recovery, but a doctors note needs to be signed 14 days before?
This only applies if you haven’t been vaccinated. If you’re vaccinated, that’s all the “proof” you need.
As long as they don’t add booster to the requirement. You may have the original shot(s) and no booster and now be positive. As usual it is dependent on what the state decides to do and when.
The way I understand it is:
Positive test no older than 90 days or less than 11 days from departure.
The medical provider letter must be at least 10 days after your test collection date, but cannot be older than 14 days from departure. The logic is if you have an older test, they want a doctor to clear you closer to your trip to be sure you are OK.
Its a real brain teaser. Try working with the calendar based on your test date and departure date to map out the dates. It make make it clearer.
Do i need to download adobe app to upload required documents?
LEIMOMI… Safe Travels is not an app therefore cannot be “downloaded”. You have to log into the website even if you do it from your phone.
Hawaii changed their procedures yet again… shocker
In 2 yrs they’ve hardly been able to go 2 weeks without fumbling something up.
Good Day STEVE
I believe you correct, sir.
It has been my observation, gleaned from my many days of government employment, that within most governments change very often masquerades as progress.
yeah and its my observation that many want to take our country way backwards.
Steve,
With all due respect you do realize that Hawaii unlike ANY other US state is a spec in the middle of the ocean? With very little access to outside hospitals should those hospitals become over run? Dont like it dont go.
Let us know when those darn hospitals get overrun. And not because of a nurse shortage.
I’m confused. For several weeks you’ve been saying that there is no requirement for travelers to fill out the Safe Travels form, and yet it says that above. Please clarify. I’ve already received our QR codes for our trip to Kauai next week.
Hi Randy.
We have never said you don’t need to comply with Safe Travels. There is no longer a health questionnaire which may be what you are referring to. Since you already have your QR code, then it appears to us that you are good to go.
Aloha.
Hello,
I was exposed to covid on 01/8/2022 but I did not get tested for covid-19 until 01/13/2022. I’m supposed to fly out on 01/24/2022 do I have a chance of having the exception approved for recovering from covid-19 or should I reschedule my flight?
Thank you for your time,
R.M
Hi Rosio.
It doesn’t appear that the exemption will apply to you. Thus changing your flight might be the safest route.
You can try, but it clearly states “The medical provider letter must be dated at least 10 days after the collection date of your positive result and no earlier than 14 days before your departure date for Hawaii.”
Aloha.
This is so confusing! It makes it sound like anyone going to Hawaii has to fill out the exemption form. When filling it out it asks why you want an exemption, where you’re quarantining and the address and if you traveled 14 days before your arrival? How would you fill the form out ahead of time if they want to know if you traveled 14 days before your arrival? If you have been vaccinated twice and also have received the booster do you still need to fill out this exemption form?
MELANIE… You’re filling out the wrong form! You need to fill out the Vaccination Exemption Form which basically just asks where/when you got each shot and then asks you to upload your vaccination card. The information above is just for those who haven’t been vaccinated but have had Covid and assume to have antibody protection.
Thank you!!! After I filled out the info on the Safe Travels site I uploaded my info.
Just anyone know if Kaiser Southern California is CLIF certified? My test is not note any certification from the lab that they use. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give me.
If it’s regarding a positive covid test…those don’t need to be from a Hawaii trusted safe travels partner.
True, but it still needs to be a molecular test to use this exemption (quoting from the blog post): “A molecular test (NAAT, PCR, or RNA). Antigen and antibody type tests are NOT acceptable for this exemption.”
Bottom line is that, without a positive molecular test, you never had it, and therefore never recovered from it, thus no quarantine exemption for you. Science!
NANCY… YOu only need to do this is you have NOT been vaccinated but have had Covid and are assumed to have post-illness antibodies.
I am triple vaccinated and it will be more than 90 days since I tested positive. What I don’t know is whether they are using the first positive test you received or in my case I took more than one, the last positive test you took. Does anyone know the answer to this question.
If you are “vaccinated”, then apply for the vax exemption. Period. It does not matter when you had covid. All this is about is avoiding quarantine when arriving on Hawaii.
I filled out the vaccination exemption form and uploaded a pic of my vaccination card, but yet have not received the exemption. I am travelling this coming Sat and I am worried if I do not get the exemption. do you know of anybody who got the exemption declined when they inspected his vax card at the airport?
Please check but I don’t believe Safe Travels is required any longer so that may be why you aren’t getting communication back from that site.
You filled this out on Safe Travels, correct? When you set up your Safe Travels account you enter your Trip and get an email with a QR Code, then you apply for exemption from quarantine / vaccine exemption. Provided you did both of these steps, you can log in again and click on Generate New QR Code Email.
Also, when I log in I click on the down arrow in Trips and see my QR Code.
Hope this helps.
Hi if I am an Australian citizen (double vaxxed) travelling throughout the U.S can i enter Oahu or do i need a Pcr test? Thankyou
Hi Lisa.
If you are arriving from within the US you need to comply with Hawaii Safe Travels rules to obtain the vaccination exemption. If directly from Australia, then you need to follow CDC rules found here instead: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel/index.html.
Aloha.
Totally confused! Keeps referring to having proof of positive Covid but no reference to having subsequent negative testing. Assume that Vaccine Exemption still applies – that this applies only to those who do not get vaccinated but are claiming exemption based on the antibodies they now have after have had The Rona?!?!?!
Hi Barbara.
That’s correct. This has nothing to do with the vaccine exemption.
Aloha.
So what is the requirement if you have not had COVID?
KATHY S… Answer to the Vaccine Exemption Questionnaire on Safe Travels (where/when did you get vaccinated, what type and upload your card) OR negative PCR test prior to flight (72 hours the last I looked).
News flash folks 1.35 million Americans tested positive for covid today.
As I’ve been saying for 2 years no matter testing, junk vaccination stabs and masking everyone is going to contact covid.
Everyone of us.
BOH Bro’s can verify my prediction from my passed 2 thousand odd comments
Omicron is the variant that’s making my prediction come true.
Right so just stop testing and it will go away right?
No, continue to test and it won’t go away.
We certainly don’t want to waste billions of dollars of testing materials we paid for.
Thank you for the information;particularly the clarification for returning residents. -lots of happy international travelers currently in Waikiki that don’t mind”jumping through the hoops”
This is all really silly, I have antibodies, confirmed with a blood test, from June. I was exposed over the holidays while in Hawaii, and didn’t get it, so my antibodies are even higher. Why is Hawaii putting a whole bunch of rules on this that make zero sense? Omicron is going to be great for Hawaii. By April, you will be in the clear and all this will be for nothing! Except for the new upcoming variant they will be making up… Get a grip, it’s a joke at this point.
It is not a joke for health care providers and hospital staff. Hawaii health officials are walking a tightrope trying to keep the Hawaiians health system from crashing and allowing tourists to support their economy. We are fortunate to be able to travel to Hawaii. Some of the arrogant comments criticizing their efforts to protect their state remind me of the “Ugly American” name, given to rude American tourists in Europe. Thank you for posting this exemption and the links to the application.
Ha, let’s have people overwhelm the doctors offices even more then they all ready are by requesting letters to go on vacation.
MS… Onl if you haven’t been vaccinated! Otherwise, it doesn’t matter – just fill out the Vaccination Exemption on Safe Travels. This only applies to unvaccinated but have had Covid (yielding post-Covid antibodies).
Unless you absolutely have to eat indoors on the two islands that are only allowing the vaccinated (who can spread it around to each other) to eat indoors at restaurants, it’s just far easier to take a test, and not deal with all the other ridiculous hoops you have to jump through.
The stupidity in all this political posturing is that it could be as simple as having to test before you leave, or when you arrive for all travelers. 🤦♂️
Let me see if I may untie this Hawaiian Covid Gordian Knot.
In order to be admitted as a 90 day prior Covid survivor one must:
1. upload a Positive Covid Test that itself has 5 sub-element requirements;
2. attach a letter from an M.D. having 3 sub-element requirements;
3. transmit a confirmed date of departure;
4. submit a Safe Travels form.
But admission is “subject to change”.
It is sheer brilliance. Hawaii’s plan is to eradicate COVID by smothering it with paper.
HAYWARD…. Wrong!!! The rules you stated only apply if you are not vaccinated but have had Covid and are protected by post-COVID antibodies instead of vaccine protection!
Sorry, let me try again if I may. My possibilities:
I could have Covid but not be vaccinated;
I could be vaccinated but not have Covid;
I could be not vaccinated and not have Covid;
I could have Covid and be vaccinated;
With any of these possibilities I have antibodies;
With any of these possibilities I do not have antibodies.
Presumably each of these singularly or in combination present a different Hawaiian requirement.
Got it. Thanks for clearing up for me.
This makes no sense The CDC pulled the PCR test.
After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel,
cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html
Is a booster required or is a two dose vac pass the test. We travelled to Kauai with clear pas can we do same for Oahu on June?
JEFF S… Last I heard/read was that the universal definition of “vaccinated” was going to include having had the booster. But have never heard/read anything other than rumor.
This just cracks me up. Why bother with all the rules and regulations. It’s already been proven that people are using false tests and vax cards to travel and now there are all these complicated processes for “exemptions”. Meanwhile there are tons of restrictions for all of us living here in Hawaii. It’s all about the money and not keeping people safe. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t have let a cruise ship dock here and offload a bunch of passengers when they had positive covid cases aboard.
Please explain the situation if you recovered more than 90 days before your trip. Example would be positive test on December 30, 2021 and ticket to Maui on April 14. You are recovered. What is needed if anything to avoid quarantine? Thank you very much.
Hi Nancy.
When outside the period for the recovered exemption, you must comply with either testing or vaccination according to Safe Travels.
Aloha.
BOH, so what’s with all these comments from 2021, some six months old? This whole thing is clear as mud. I may be old, but I don’t think I’m suffering from any cognitive problems, unlike some of our nation’s leaders. So let me get this straight. If you had COVID more than 90 days ago, you can’t get the exemption. That’s really naive of Ige and his flunkies. My wife and I had COVID in November 2020, and last month got tested for antibodies. We still have them. But noooo, we are not exempt.
Hi Rob.
As it says at the bottom of the post, it was revised today and was based on an earlier publication which was just updated.
Correct, if more than 90 days, you must comply with one of the other two exemptions, either testing or vaccination.
Aloha.
Good Day ROB L.
For us – SEP 2020.
I am both old and fortunate enough to recall three generations of loving mothers as primary caregivers in my family. They each knew from firsthand experience what acquired immunity is and they respected its application in a world full of human maladies. No test, no 90 days, no Dr. letters. Just the wisdom of the centuries. We grew up just fine.
After all this time I am saddened to learn they didn’t have the first idea what they were doing.
I so agree with you!! I have antibodies from June 2021!
Does this apply if you never had covid and are fully vaccinated. If so do we just need letter from Dr. we don’t or never had had it ? Don’t quite understand as we have never had it , we are fully vacc. and flu shots
Hi Phyllis.
There are three exemptions: testing, vaccination or recovery.
Aloha.
My son tested positive today. I am getting myself & daughter tested tomorrow. If positiv I need to wait until 10 days prior to my trip at the end of March to go to the doctors and get a letter clearing us? I read they are going to require a booster. I am double vaccinated. I am not getting a booster when my body fought off Omnicron & the vaccine doesn’t protect against itNatal. Same with my 12 year old daughter. Or my 9 year old who only has one dose to date and is currently infected.
Dynacare is CLIA certified. If you fly direct, no stopover in the US, your PCR test from Shoppers etc is good and will be accepted by AC or Westjet, who are trusted Partners. I am also told by Maui Gov. office that we, as Canadians can upload our vaccine certificates into safe travels website to be accepted. Best is to call and confirm with Dep. of Transportation.
Duly noted.
Anything on the anticipated (by you guys) “two shots are not enough” rule change?
Hi David.
Should be rolling out momentarily.
Aloha.
Thank you for this easy to read synopsis! So much easier! To clarify though: daughter was Covid positive on 29 December after exposed on 26 December 2021. Asymptomatic. Her five day quarantine ends tomorrow, 03 January 2022. Ten day (mask required to be worn everywhere) masking done 08 January 2022. We want to travel to Oahu 09 January. Is this possible? Sounds from your guideline explanation we may need to wait to 14 days clear?
We have all been vaccinated and boostered.
Thank you.
Hi Renee.
For your situation, and due to fast-changing rules, we suggest you contact the state’s Safe Travels help desk just to be sure. They can be reached at 855-599-0888.
Aloha.
I had Covid and was planning to travel to Hawaii from Canada. I have been told the government labs in Canada are not CLIA certified. Therefore I cannot get an exemption. Is this true? if so it Will affect many Canadians.
Looks like there are. See
ised-isde.canada.ca/site/mutual-recognition-agreements/en/canadian-testing-laboratories
This is an official Canadian government website. Hope it helps. Double check to make sure they are really acceptable by Hawaii.
Try to get tested in the USA and fly from the mainland to Hawaii, rather than from Canada. A bit more complex, yes, but at least you will get there.
If you fly, let ua say from Vancouver to Hawaii, Canadians only need an Anti Gen Test to enter the US/Hawaii 24 hours before departure.
it’s all here:
travel.hawaii.gov/#/exceptions
Does this exemption work just like the vaccine exemption? That is, no quarantine and no problem getting into resorts/restaurants/etc? We have two kiddos that didn’t have time to get vaxxed before we leave but also have recovered from COVID so we are looking at our best option for exemption for them.
For anyone wondering. We did get the Recovered from COVID exemption for my sons when we went and we had no problems. It’s just like the vaccination exemption if you follow the steps to the letter.
Is there any requirement of the medical professional who writes the letter? Does any urgent care count? A lot of our trusted partners in Colorado who we would go to for the test aren’t actually “doctors offices” just testing sites.
Aloha Jerrica
When we filled out the Attny General recovered COVID application.. health professional who writes the letter documenting fully recovered and symptom free following a 10 day quarantine must have an NPI #. NPI # must be documented on the letter. FYI= We received “acceptance” within 10 mins of application submission on 12/25/21!! Attorney Generals office e-mailed us a code we downloaded into safe travels & got the necessary QR code!! Ever so grateful!! Good Luck!!
Hi – I’ve gone through the ATG exemption process for my children and have “verified” the code on the Safe Travels app. There was no forwarded QR code as a result for the children, however, only for me – and that is because I have a fully vaccinated exception. Under my trip details the children are still listed as not exempt, and there is nothing next to their name except a “-“. It would seem that the ATG exemption should be next to their name as the code was verified? I am panicking….
Following
As another commenter pointed out, the doctor that writes the note needs an NPI#. It doesn’t matter if you got tested with them or not. We just asked our pediatrician to write the letters for our sons and neither of them tested at his doctor’s office. The doctor just has to write a note saying the person is recovered and cleared for travel. Depending on the doctor, you may have to go in for a visit to verify the recovery, but that’s up to the doctor’s office. I would call and ask.
I don’t understand how to answer the question
“Explain why you need an exemption (insufficient details of your work, employment or project, or explanation supporting your request may result in denial)
Both my husband and I are recovered from covid we are supposed to travel Kaui July 19 is this still possible will the exmpetion be cleared in time for travel ? We dont want to pay for everything then be told we have to quarantine
That will be more than 90 days from now so you would need to be vaccinated or quarantine.
I am triple vaccinated so I wouldn’t need to complete any requirements correct?
Not unless you contract COVID again and have recovered between the dates of April 7th – July 7th. Otherwise, I believe your vaccination including booster is sufficient. Good thing as well as quarantine time is 5-days instead of 10 now, if that is your only option.
Hello,
I am applying for an Covid 19 exemption as I have recovered from Covid and flying to Oahu. What is the stuff I’m reading about an Attorney General email? I am not sure I understand what the Attorney General has to do with my doctor’s note stating I have recovered…. Can you explain the mention of Attorney General? Also, I have positive results from Walgreens, a trusted partner for testing, it does not show clia as the type of lab but it is indeed a clia lab result. Do I need to prove that or will they know this information already?
Thanks,
Erin
Hi Erin.
We’d suggest you contact the Hawaii Safe Travels help desk with your question. They can be reached at 855-599-0888.
Aloha.
FYI safe travels hawaii has nothing to do w/Attorney Generals exemption form… just called safe travels…
Am stranded quarantining in LV, NV and can’t seem to find anyone to write that exemption letter.
Good Luck
People do not get to upset these rules change daily and sometimes more often, even if you had covid you can still test positive up to 90 days they are saying, mask up now back to N95 probably because they manufactured mass amounts to late in the game now they need to get rid of them same will be seen on home covid tests to late the worst has about peaked and now they are free to whomever may want them????? They say we will never reach herd immunity so what direction are we going to go tomorrow
