In response to the Governor’s statements regarding today’s COVID-19 case count, Speaker Scott Saiki has issued this statement:

“To control COVID-19, the Governor needs to do more than request the public’s cooperation. The Governor should implement a health pass that will require persons to show proof of full vaccination to enter establishments, such as restaurants, gyms, and stores. I am confident that Hawaii residents will support such a move because they want to protect their children, families and friends.”
