Hawaii To Permit Tourists With Negative Covid-19 Certificate to Bypass Quarantine

On September 16, the Hawaiian Governor David Ige announced that tourists can skip the 14-day quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19. The move, which comes into effect from October 15, mandates travellers to undergo a COVID test within 72 hours prior to their flights. The step has been taken to revive the state’s tourism, badly hit by the pandemic which has left one-quarter of the workforce jobless.
