My husband just traveled to the Big Island. Unfortunately, when we were vaccinated back in January and February, the lot numbers of the vaccine were not recorded on our vaccine records. Safe Travels requires these lot numbers. If you do not have them, you will be on quarantine for 10 days. However, one may still take the Covid test within 72 hrs and travel with negative results. Just FYI.

Oh my goodness!!
Mahalo Jeff and Rob for this news.
Fully vaccinated. How’d that work out for General Powell?
I don’t know what the answer is, but friends and family members in hospitality in three different Counties here are seeing reservations skyrocket.
I’m dying to travel abroad too, but don’t feel comfortable yet. This world is ever changing. I’m over it.
Stay safe and blessed.
Much Aloha always 🌺🌺

Hi Pam.
Thank you. We are both waiting for the travel bug to return as well. Until then, this is a great place to be stuck.
Aloha.

General Powell (God bless his soul) was already suffering from a rare and aggressive blood Cancer and his doctor noted that his immune system was already so compromised that he was unable to benefit from the vaccine and build up enough antibodies. He didn’t stand a chance against Covid, vaccinated or not.

General Powell had cancer and his immune system was very low. I know so many people that were vaccinated and that have underlying problems and got through so far we are lucky that a vaccine was developed. They do work

Just returned from Hawaii the Island was Maui. Complete the safeHawaii travel before you leave . If you are fully vaccinated you do not need a COVID test. Mask are required for indoors, and indoor dining you need a vaxs card. Did luau, and dinner cruise and dined out had no issues.

I am a fully vaccinated resident of Kona. I am on the mainland and will be flying home to Kona on November 1. Will I need to get tested before returning home?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Lana.
The Safe Travel rules currently provide quarantine exceptions for both vaccinated and for tested individuals. So proof of being fully vaccinated will suffice.
Aloha.

“time to rehire people back”
Ha! Hire who? I’ve had open positions I can’t fill (unskilled) since January.

That was my first thought as well. We are short and we cannot fill positions either. The visitors will start coming back then everyone will get bad reviews as restaurants have no openings up to 6 months out, just like the luaus. Landscaping and the like have also been impacted.

ALOHA!
Let me start with a huge MAHALO to BOH for your timely tips, information and news!
Had a trip planned to Waikiki last month, but rescheduled due to pandemic concerns etc. I rescheduled for November 11th, so the timing of this announcement is perfect! Itching to feel the gentle breeze to whisk the stress of work away!!!!
Mahalo!
