Please retract my previous comment minutes ago. I misread my email from Allianz Travel Insurance. The email stated I do have medical insurance if needed with any illness 2 days prior or during my trip to Oahu.
I have a trip planned for dates April 20-26,2021 of which I followed all the rules and arranged for travel insurance within 14 days of booking airline tickets s. In my case with Allianz Trip Insurance. I just received a response when I checked on the CFAR Insurance and was told I did not have this coverage and only Travel Agencies write these. It was also noted I did not have Medical Coverage. I reviewed my policy and I do have $10,000 in medical which includes medical transportation to the point of my departure. Please be savvy and keep all documentation concerning first point of contact with salesforce. I return every April (not 2020 of course) in celebrate of my deceased Son’s birthday and ANZACZ Day at the Punchbowl a must if you have never experienced this event.
Aloha BOH,
I work for a health care system on the west coast, and we just were informed of a nationwide shortage of Covid testing reagent. This means only symptomatic people will get tested until the shortage is over. This likely makes Hawaii’s plan of pre-flight testing moot. I would recommend that everyone delay travel to Hawaii until the testing can be done on everyone again. Sadly, this will likely mean many months more of tourism stoppage.
“Demand for C0VID-19 testing has steadily increased while the supply of materials required to run tests has not increased to meet demand. A backlog of patient samples is beginning to build up as a result. Sample collection will continue; however, we do not anticipate that we will receive higher volumes of reagent to have capacity for additional testing for at least several more months due to the national shortage. As such, we may run into days where we are not able to accommodate all patients. We need your support to be able to continue to return test results within 48-72 hours and prevent further strain on our testing capacity”
Hi James.
Thanks.
Aloha.
Aloha and thanks so much for your well researched information.
I am wondering if there is any site I can access that will list the various businesses that are currently open on Kauai. We are back on island now and notice restaurants with signage, but haven’t been able to find any sort of comprehensive list. We would likely go out to eat if we had access to this information. Also, friends wanting to visit from the big Island ……is there a list of the hotels that are now open, activities etc?
I know this is off topic, but I believe we are not alone in our frustration when it comes to finding out where things stand. Mahalo!
Hi Joan.
Thanks. We are unaware of any such site/information. We don’t know ourselves what is open and what hours they are keeping, and we are here.
Aloha.
Could you please advise me. I have tickets to fly to Hilo on the 31 of July. I live part time in Pahoa. Should I reschedule for Aug. 1 to avoid the quar antine?
Hi Rickey.
We’ll update with more information on August 1 as soon as we obtain it.
Aloha.
Aloha. Good info but I suspect many ( most?) people are going to look at all of this confusing & constantly changing Gov Ige directives and say “ I’ll wait for a vaccine.” I don’t think insurance is the answer. And regarding a vaccine and a comment made about “40%” effective rate, my wife is a Level 1 ER/Trauma Manager. She said the effectiveness directly relates to the specific vaccine and virus. Some vaccines like for measles are highly effective. Aloha
Hi Tom.
Thanks.
Aloha.

Hi Susie.
We provided two companies in the article and there are others. You can Google them or search for travel insurance.
