What about vacation rentals? Or just planning on income going to hotels\resorts only? WHAT IS THE ACTUAL PLAN?? Hopefully, the PLAN & requirements will be posted for all to see and plan ahead. It’s already going into MID SEPT! MAHALO

Hi AR.
Yes, hope the state gives us an update sooner than later.
Aloha.

Kind of interesting people saying they don’t like the testing protocol because if they had Covid their vacation would be ruined?
You’re alright coming over without a test because you don’t mind spreading it to the community if you are asymptomatic. You don’t want to find out you could inadvertently kill someone?. Your vacation is more important then that?
If you want to wait for a 100% full proof scenario you will be waiting for a long time, this is a very realistic option and like many on here
I hope politics don’t sink it, I expect Josh Green will at some point be slandered by the people that have put their fiefdoms ahead of us but hopefully the urgency of the situation will overcome and allow a solution to be implemented. It would be easy if everyone in Government was putting the common good ahead of self interest. Alas that just doesn’t seem to happen anymore.
….and someone else saying a common cold will test positive? Don’t think so……..the opening of Hawaii will work for people that want to come to Hawaii and are willing to do all they can to be safe and enjoy a beautiful place that will be more like the Hawaii of old then ever.
People always like to say Hawaii is not like it used to be, it’s more crowded, less Aloha etc….well the reopening will be like the Hawaii of old.
Aloha to all

Hi John.
Thanks for your many comments (over 100).
Aloha.

Sadly it is hard to put any stock in what the Hawaiian government says at this point. I guess I need to see a track record regarding an achievable, practical and sustained re-opening strategy. My apologies if I am completely skeptical for a real reopening this year. As always, prayers to all the Hawaii residents for blessings, protection and relief. Aloha

Rarely do people get there covid results back in 72 hours …most of the time it takes at least a week …so for me this is very unrealistic.

That’s why they’re planning to allow rapid antigen testing as well. You’d take one test no more than three days before your flight, and then once again when you arrive in Hawaii.

We just tested in California Tuesday 9/8. Got our results back morning of the 10th. We flew over to Kauai yesterday the 10th. We still have to do our 14 days, but it can be done. Even if your results took 5 days, you’d only quarantine 5 days.

If I travel from Maui to Honolulu in October will I need to Quarantine when I get there?
And will I need to Quarantine when I get back to Maui?

I’m hoping this proposal is more than just politics. Green has been for opening the state for awhile now. (With restrictions) I’m going to sit on the sidelines and see how this plays out. Mahalo for the info Guys.

I would like to watch the livestream clip. Which facebook page is it on? Youtube?
I hope you open up. I live in Collin County outside of Dallas. Most all business are open. The whole Sate of Hawaii has less cases than just our county.

Just open the islands and what happens happens. It worked for Sweden why wouldn’t it work for us. At this point I’m more afraid of loosing my business than loosing my life.

Wow…finally some common sense & hope for normalcy for Hawaii small business’s & economy…however, I think its in for a surprise thinking visitors are going to risk booking flights and places to stay if they could lose it all when taking a test. Especially, when the common cold is also a coronavirus and is detected as Covid19. Visitors ate not that eager to travel to Hawaii…especially with the ‘tourist hate’ thats being shared by residents on some of the islands, on top of it. If they don’t feel welcome, travellers will find a new favorite destination and Hawaii will be left behind in shambles that could have been avoided. The truth is that the numbers dying from Covid19 is less than 1% and the average have 2.5 co-morbities! These people are not likely to be travelling!
