Hawaii Extends Mandatory 14-Day Quarantine for Visitors
If you are itching to visit Hawaii this summer, you will probably need to wait a bit longer, unless a 14-day quarantine is part of your dream vacation. The governor of Hawaii, David Ige, said on Wednesday that the state’s mandatory 14-day quarantine for mainland and international travelers through will be extended through July.
Ige signed a ninth supplementary emergency proclamation that extends the COVID-19 emergency period through July 31.
The emergency proclamation lifts the quarantine requirement for inter-island travelers effective 12:01 a.m. on June 16, 2020. However, it also leaves in place the quarantine requirement for out-of-state travelers. The governor has the authority to make exemptions for transit corridors/bubbles.
The proclamation also includes criminal liability for hosts of guests who violate quarantine requirements or owners of cars that are rented to quarantine violators.
“We are working very hard toward re-opening out-of-state travel, but we’re not there yet. We are being very cautious. There are new virus flare-ups in key mainland markets – including California where more than 2,000 new cases were reported yesterday. Oregon, Arizona and Texas are also reporting their highest number of new daily cases,” said Gov. Ige in his press release.
Hawaii has among the lowest COVID-19 infection and mortality rates in the nation. Ige enacted a mandatory self-quarantine for all arriving tourists and residents in March.
