EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS
HONOLULU
David Y. Ige
GOVERNOR

June 3, 2020
Mr. Joseph Pluta
PO Box 12278

Lahaina, HI 96761
Dear Mr. Pluta:
Thank you for contacting our office on June 1, 2020 to express your views and suggestions regarding tourism and the quarantine during COVID-19. Our staff will ensure that your comments are shared with Governor Ige.
The global spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 is very concerning to the Governor. This is a rapidly changing situation, and the Governor continues to work with county, state and federal partners to gather information and make decisions to protect the health of Hawaiʻi's residents.
In efforts to support ongoing State and County responses to COVID-19, the Governor has issued several emergency proclamations which can be reviewed at https://governor.hawaii.gov/category/newsroom/emergency-proclamations/.
The Governor's Eighth Supplemental Proclamation relates to persons traveling to the State or traveling inter-island. Visitors and returning or intended residents are subject to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine with a few exceptions detailed in the proclamation orders. Additionally, the Department of Transportation provides FAQs about travel/quarantine at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/coronavirus/.
The disaster emergency relief period shall continue through June 30, 2020, unless terminated or extended by a separate proclamation, whichever shall occur first. At this point in time, it is not possible to verify or confirm the date that any travel restrictions and quarantine requirements will be modified and/or rescinded.
On June 1, 2020, Governor David Ige announced that the state will be lifting the 14-day quarantine requirement for inter-island travelers, effective June 16. The state Department of Transportation will require thermal screening at the airport for everyone traveling inter-island. HDOT will also require travelers to fill out a new form that will now also ask for health-related information to assist the state in tracking and responding to new COVID-19 cases.
Hawaiʻi is slowly reopening within public health guidelines and safe practices. The Governor's emergency proclamation allows a county maximum flexibility to exercise its respective emergency management authority. This allows for flexibility between counties since COVID-19 infection rates and recovery on each island differ. Please know that county proclamations and orders may be more restrictive or more lenient. You should consult with county authorities about their requirements and restrictions:
  • Honolulu: https://www.honolulu.gov/mayor/proclamations-orders-and-rules.html
  • Maui: https://www.mauicounty.gov/2370/COVID-19-Coronavirus-Information
  • Kauai: https://www.kauai.gov/covid-19
  • Hawaii: https://coronavirus-response-county-of-hawaii-hawaiicountygis.hub.arcgis.com/
We appreciate you taking the time to share your views and suggestions with us and will consider your comments along with all other public input as we strive to keep communities healthy and improve state government in Hawaiʻi.
 
With warmest regards,
Office of the Governor
State of Hawaiʻi
