Now, some travelers to Hawaii may be allowed to skip the state’s ten-day quarantine – but there is a catch.
On Wednesday, technology platform CLEAR announced it has partnered with Hawaii to launch a six-week program that will enhance Hawaii’s Safe Travels program by creating an easier and seamless travel experience, a press release told Fox News.
Eligible travelers to skip the program can skip the Hawaii 10-day quarantine as long as they take a negative coronavirus test within 72 hours of their trip and register their results on CLEAR’s Health Pass.
