Maui Requires Visitors Download Covid-19 Exposure Notification App

If you plan to travel to the Hawaiian island of Maui, you will be required to download a mobile app. As part of the ‘Safe Travels’ program, travelers have to download an exposure notification system application on their mobile phones, so that they can be immediately notified of having had contact with someone with COVID-19.

All travelers who obtain a limited quarantine exemption must download and present to screeners either the AlohaSafe Alert application (available at www.alohasafealert.org). Travelers 18 and older will then have to show proof of the download to airport screeners or law enforcement officials.

The website says that the app does not track your location. It anonymously keeps track of devices you’ve been in close contact with for the past 14 days using Bluetooth technology. Google and Apple cannot see your identity, nor can anyone who receives an exposure alert should you test positive for COVID-19. The free app considers a possible exposure to mean coming within 6 feet of someone for at least 15 cumulative minutes.

“The AlohaSafe app helps people know that they might have been exposed to the virus and should consider getting tested as soon as possible,” Maui Mayor Michael Victorino said in a press release for the app launch in December. “This is especially important now as our community awaits the broad distribution of the vaccine against the virus.”

  1. so Grandma and Grandpa can’t go to Maui because they have dumb phones with really big buttons? Phones that don’t accept downloadable apps?
