Operative words

This rule shortens the required mandatory self-quarantine period for arrivals, both interisland [and trans-Pacific, who participate in the Enhanced Movement] Quarantine (the 'EMQ') program described in Section IV.F of Governor David Y. Ige's Seventeenth Proclamation... and Mayor's Emergency Rule #16. In addition to participating in the EMQ program, a traveler must receive both a negative test result for COVID-19 from a test administered at their own expense within 72 hours prior to the final leg of departure of their trip to Kaua'i and a second negative test result from a test administered at their own expense 72 hours or more after their arrival in order to be exempt from mandatory self-quarantine. This exemption from mandatory self-quarantine is separate and independent of participation in the State Safe Travels program.... Traveler participation in the State Safe Travels program does not qualify the traveler for this [exemption].

Enforcement

Haw. Rev. Stat. 127A-29

Notes

Confirms that the State's Safe Travels exception did not apply on Kauai during the opt-out; in force July 1-8, 2021.
