Governor David Ige has approved Kaua‘i Mayor Derek Kawakami’s request to re-join the Safe Travels Hawaiʻi Program.
Kauaiʻs participation in the program will take effect on April 5, 2021. Until that time, existing rules for Kaua‘i travel will remain in place.
“This emergency rule will simplify travel to Hawai‘i by including Kaua‘i in the existing Safe Travels program. The increased restrictions over the winter months helped Mayor Kawakami safely balance travel with the health and safety of residents and visitors on the Garden Island,” said Gov. David Ige in a press release.
