UPDATED SEPTEMBER 16, 2020:
From Governor David Ige on July 13, 2020:
Gov. David Ige this afternoon announced he is delaying the launch of the state’s pre-travel testing program by a month to Sept. 1, 2020. He also announced the extension of Hawai‘i’s 14-day quarantine on trans-Pacific travel to the end of August. Gov. Ige said he still believes in the pre-travel testing program and reports that the state has made progress. Announcements related to partners will be announced as negotiations have concluded. He agreed that the developments will make economic recovery more challenging.
Once it is launched, the pre-travel testing program will be an important part of the state’s multi-layered screening process to protect residents and visitors.
PRE-TRAVEL Program:
The pre-travel testing program for COVID-19 will start Oct. 15, 2020. Pre-travel testing enables travelers to avoid a mandatory 14-day quarantine if they are tested no earlier than 72 hours before their flight arrives with an FDA-approved nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), performed using a nasal swab, and can show proof of negative test results from a CLIA certified laboratory. Travelers also will have their temperatures checked upon arrival and must fill out the Safe Travels travel and health form. Upon arrival in Hawai‘i, passengers unable to provide proof of an approved negative test will be required to go into quarantine for 14 days or until they can provide proof of negative test results.Maui Mayor Mike Victorino on July 10th, 2020 states that he supports pushing out the above plan to September 1, 2020.
