“In an effort to support the State’s travel initiatives while continuing to provide safeguards for our community,
we have decided to extend our post-arrival testing program an additional ten days,” said Mayor Mitch Roth.
“Our program has been extremely successful thus far in keeping our numbers some of the best in the Nation.
However, as we continue to see an incredible amount of travelers arrive who have been completely vaccinated,
we feel that it is now safe to transition out of the post-arrival testing program completely. We hope that moving
away from our testing program to adhere to the State’s vaccination exemption programs will help alleviate
confusion for both visitors and kamaʻāina alike – making it easier for our residents to visit family and friends
they haven’t seen in far too long.”
