Getting to Hawaiʻi

Beginning March 26, 2022, there will be no COVID-related requirements for arriving domestic passengers.

International travel quarantine restrictions

Travelers arriving in Hawaii directly from international airports must still comply with U.S. federal requirements(link is external).  The State of Hawaiʻi welcomes international travelers under federal requirements.

What to do when you are in Hawaiʻi

Once you get to Hawaiʻi you are still asked to follow certain rules to make sure you and others will remain as safe as possible. The most visible of these was the now-ended indoor mask mandate. Do not throw away your masks yet though, because individual businesses are still allowed to ask their costumers to wear masks.

Should you wear a mask indoors?

The statewide indoor mask mandate ended at 11:59 p.m. on March 25, 2022.

However, the Hawaii State Department of Health still recommends elders, people who are immuno-compromised and at high risk of serious illness to keep wearing masks for their protection. The DOH also recommends indoor masks in crowded settings and public areas.

Although the statewide indoor mask mandate ended on March 25, the Transportation Security Administration is extending the mask mandate on public transportation (airplanes, buses and other forms of transit) until April 18, 2022.

Should you wear a mask outdoors?

Individuals are not required to wear face coverings outdoors.
