Travelers with COVID-19 vaccinations do not need to be quarantined when traveling to Hawaii.
On Monday, the Governor of Hawaii, David Ige, signed an emergency proclamation that amended some of his COVID-19 guidelines, including the exceptions to the mandatory ten-day quarantine period.
Currently, anyone traveling to Hawaii is subject to a mandatory self-quarantine. There are two exceptions: a negative COVID test within 72 hours prior to arrival in the state or arrival by boat that has been at sea for at least ten consecutive days, without positive COVID cases.
A third exception added to Monday’s proclamation would waive the mandate for quarantine for travelers who can provide documentation that they have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Travelers will need to provide proof by uploading it on the Safe Travels Program website or presenting it in person upon arrival.
The exception is not yet available, as Maj.Gen. Kenneth S. Hara, director of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, must be accepted.

The governor has not provided a date on which the exception will take effect. More details are expected to be available on the Safe Travels website.
Since October, Hawaii has allowed visitors to bypass a mandatory quarantine period before entering the state with a negative COVID test.

According to state data, nearly 22,000 people entered the state on April 11. A majority of travelers offered a negative COVID test to circumvent the quarantine period.
As of April 11, there are more than 1,000 people in quarantine.
The proclamation signed Monday also extended Hawaii’s eviction moratorium by two months, as well as the grace period for state identification and driver’s licenses that expired during the pandemic.
