We proceed to maintain on the look out for indicators of Hawaii reopening tourism. Whereas we don’t have any particular dates but, there’s some progress in that the interisland quarantine will probably be lifted and the governor says he’ll announce extra subsequent week about reopening tourism.
Interisland quarantine to be lifted June 16, 2020
This week, Gov. Ige announced that the obligatory 14-day quarantine for interisland vacationers will probably be lifted Tuesday, June 16, 2020. New passenger screening procedures will probably be carried out in Hawaii airports to incorporate thermal screening and a brand new journey type. Listed here are a number of the vital factors of the brand new procedures:
- Temperature screening – if a passenger has an elevated temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or better, they won’t be allowed to fly
- New types to gather health-related data and different data for monitoring functions.
- Anybody reporting signs to endure extra screening and/or testing.
Passengers won’t be able to fly in the event that they:
- Refuse to finish the obligatory types. Varieties are obligatory for all flight segments, even on the identical day.
- Are on the traveler 14-day quarantine checklist.
- Have a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or extra.
Together with these checks, the Lt. Gov. Green wants to randomly test one in 20 passengers for COVID-19.
This new screening course of might presumably be a precursor for what trans-Pacific vacationers would possibly anticipate.
When will Hawaii’s trans-Pacific quarantine be lifted? Governor to announce plan subsequent week.
The present 14-day quarantine order for out of state guests and returning residents extends by way of June 30, 2020, however the governor has already indicated that date will probably be prolonged. Throughout Monday’s press conference, the governor mentioned that subsequent week, he’ll announce plans for opening out-of-state and trans-Pacific journey.
Hawaii Information Now printed a one-on-one interview with the governor yesterday. That interview is certainly value watching to get a really feel for the path the state could be heading, which seems to be that guests from Japan and Korea will probably be welcomed again earlier than these from the mainland.
