    Hello,
    I will be traveling on Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu. 2 hrs later I have a flight on Mokulele Airlines to Molokai. Will I need more than one COVID test? Will I need to quarantine in Molokai or can I travel back to Honolulu same day? I want to fly Mokulele as a sight seeing flight. I will not leave the airport.
    Thank you,
    Lisa

      Hi Lisa.

      We’d suggest you check with Mokulele first, as we don’t know the answer.

      Aloha.

    we are ramping our plans up for 6/4-6/14 in Honolulu and are jazzed that we will be able to come! See the sights and help out the locals get back on their feet! We are all about safety and have already signed up for contact tracing and the apps needed! Super excited to come..

    My question is what exactly will be done with the information from the contract tracing app? If it is decided that you have been in close contact with someone COVID positive…will you be advised to watch for symptoms; will you be asked to be tested; will you be forced to leave the island or forced to quarantine? I can’t find an answer. I’m not willing to give my privacy & freedom away. Love Maui but I have other choices for vacation.

      contact tracing is for your safety and those you may have been around. If someone you have been in contact with gets covid you will be notified.

    Hi,

    We are traveling to Maui our final destination in March. However could not get a direct flight there. So we are connecting via Honolulu airport, flight leaves for Maui 2 hours after we land. 1) Do we need to make sure our covid negative test is 72 hrs prior to our Honolulu to Maui flight? or Just the Seattle to Honolulu portion? 2) is 2 hours enough time to connect to Maui?

    Thanks,

    Don’t the people of Hawaii remember the tragedy of the Molokai Leper Colony? Forced quarantine was abolished in 1969. It seems 50 years is enough to erase the mistakes of the past. So sad for the people of Hawaii.

    “In total over the decades, more than 8500 men, women and children living throughout the Hawaiian islands and diagnosed with leprosy were exiled to the colony by the Hawaiian government and legally declared dead. This public health measure was continued after the Kingdom became a U.S. territory. Patients were not allowed to leave the settlement nor have visitors and had to live out their days here. In 1969 the century-old laws of forced quarantine were abolished.” [20][21] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molokai

    After almost a year, it’s time to decide – do we value individual freedom and the founding principles of the USA or are we now a “collective” willing to abdicate control over the lives of our families to politicians and bureaucrats with dubious credentials?

    I’ve always loved the people, culture, and beauty of Hawaii. I will be missing you until this madness ends:

    Aloha’oe, aloha’oe
    E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
    One fond embrace,
    A ho’i a’e au
    Until we meet again

    Aloha, planning a trip to Maui in February. I don’t own a smartphone. Would I be able to share my husbands cell phone? since we will be together all the time? I have a tablet that is hooked to Wi-Fi but NO internet connection. Mahalo

      Hi Carol.

      Yes, one person having a smartphone with the tracking app should suffice, unless there is any change in rules.

      Aloha.
