Hawaii Governor David Ige announced today that certain travelers fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will not need to present negative coronavirus tests prior to their Aloha State-bound flights.
The order applies to those based in other US states or territories. The change goes into effect July 8.
(Folks who booked a Hawaii mileage run — this certainly makes things easier, doesn’t it?)
Beginning July 8, Hawaiʻi will accept vaccination records from other states and US territories to bypass quarantine/pre-travel testing. Social gatherings will increase to 25 indoors and 75 outdoors statewide. Restaurants can also increase to 75% capacity. pic.twitter.com/hL4ETORVVQ

USA Today notes that travelers “will need to show their vaccine card as well as upload it to the state’s Safe Travels website.”

Of course I’m flying on 7/7. Haha. Figures!
Bummer! But at least you’re going to Hawaii, right?
Can I use my fake vaccination card for entry?
@Patrick – If you do that, you may have the FBI come knocking at your door!
The simpler choice is GET VACCINATED – NOW!
