Gov. Ige Signs 14th Proclamation: Two Days to Go Until Launch of Hawai’i’s Pre-Travel Testing | Maui Now

Governor David Ige today signed a Fourteenth Proclamation related to the state’s COVID-19 emergency.

The new document extends the mandatory 14-day quarantine for all incoming travelers; however, beginning Oct. 15, a pre-travel testing option will allow travelers an alternative to the mandatory 14-day quarantine.

The new program, which starts on Thursday, allows for an exemption to travelers five years and older who provide written confirmation from a state approved COVID-19 testing facility of a negative test result from a test administered to the traveler within 72 hours from the final leg of departure to Hawaiʻi.

If results are not received prior to arrival, the traveler will be required to self-quarantine until a negative test result is reported to the state Dept. of Health.   Negative test results may be uploaded to the Safe Travels Digital Platform, and all travelers must also complete the state’s mandatory travel and health form on this digital platform.

“The state will accept results only from trusted partners, and we want to make sure that everyone understands that,” said Gov. Ige, who announced the addition of four more partners to the state’s approved list including: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Bartell Drugs and the Port of Oakland.  This brings the total number of pre-travel testing partners for Hawaiʻi to 17. A complete list can be found here.

“I want to remind all travelers that following safe practices – at home, while traveling and upon returning – is the only way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Wear a face mask, wash your hands frequently and watch your distance around other people, even if you’ve recently tested negative for COVID-19,” said Gov. David Ige.

The inter-island quarantine for travelers arriving in the counties of Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i, Maui and Kalawao (Kalaupapa) remains in place. However, the proclamation empowers the counties to adopt a negative test exception process for travelers subject to the inter-island travel quarantine.

“I’m pleased to announce that Mayors Kawakami (of Kauaʻi) and Victorino (on Maui) have agreed to implement the pre-travel testing program for inter-county travelers.  So those going from Honolulu to Maui and Kauaʻi will be able to get a pre-travel test 72-hours prior to departure, and be able to avoid quarantine,” if they test negative.

The governor is still in discussions with Hawaiʻi County Mayor Harry Kim on inter-county travel, saying the focus there is to first get the trans-Pacific exemption in place.  “As you know, over the last week or two, there has been an increase in the number of cases on Hawaiʻi Island, which I know that they mayor is concerned with,” said Gov. Ige.

There is also an increased utilization of ICU beds on Hawaiʻi Island, which Gov. Ige said is currently at 88 percent utilization in Hawaiʻi County.

The proclamation allows counties to require a subsequent test after arrival into the state. Such a test would be paid for and administered by the county. People arriving in a county that requires a post-arrival test do not need to self-quarantine prior to obtaining the subsequent test. Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms or who anyone who tests positive at any point in their stay must take steps to isolate or quarantine as directed by the Dept. of Health.

When asked if a second test is valuable, Lieutenant Governor Josh Green said, “Of course.  It’s good to have additional testing.  It’s a gesture on our part … we mālama our visitors and they will mālama us… we will provide tests after they’ve got a test.  This is our way of showing that in partnership, we are stopping the disease.

“Will a second test make a huge difference? It will make some difference.  Some number of cases that were asymptomatic simply can’t be picked up before a few days have passed.  Because of that, we may pick up a couple of cases secondarily.  It will provide a certain level of confidence and security for us.  We want to test smart, and that’s why the mayors are all looking for extra tests, why the state is adding hundreds of thousands of extra tests–really so that we can do extra tests on school teachers, fire fighters, all of our first responders, (and) individuals who have been exposed. That’s the best thing that we can do,” said Lt. Gov. Green.

The emergency proclamation also extends the prohibition on evictions for the non-payment of rent until Nov. 30, 2020.  It extends the expiration date of expired and expiring state IDs and Drivers Licenses until Nov. 30 as well.

Sunshine Law and UIPA

Chapter 92, HRS, Part I. Meetings, is suspended to the extent necessary to
enable boards as defined in Section 92-2, to conduct meetings without any board
members or members of the public physically present in the same location. The
physical locations of the board members need not be listed on the agenda.
Boards are discouraged from meeting during the emergency disaster relief period
and should only be meeting as necessary to comply with a law, operational
necessity, or in furtherance of emergency responses to COVID-19.
If a board holds a meeting:
 Notice of meetings must be electronically posted and electronically
provided to notification lists consistent with section 92-7; however,
posting at the site of the meeting or at a centralized location in a public
building is not required.
 Board packets, consistent with Section 92-7.5, must be electronically
posted as soon as practicable under current conditions.
 Boards must accept written testimony from the public.
 Boards must comply with the requirements to keep and electronically
post meeting minutes consistent with Section 92-9.
 The quorum requirements in Section 92-15 must be met for all meetings.
If a board has the staffing, technological and other resources to hold a secure
video-teleconference (i.e., video and audio), it must in good faith attempt to
provide the public with the opportunity to observe the meeting as it happens and
an opportunity to provide oral testimony. No board action shall be invalid if the
board’s good faith efforts to implement remote technology for public observations
and comments do not work.
If a board does not have the staffing, technological or other resources to hold a
secure video-teleconference (i.e., it is limited to audio only), it must provide the
public with the opportunity to listen to the teleconference as it happens and
should make a good faith effort to provide the public with the opportunity to
provide oral testimony.
Boards are encouraged to consider the following guidelines:
 Board members should be clearly visible and/or audible consistent with
the remote technology used by the board.

EXHIBIT F

 At the start of all meetings, the presiding officer should announce the
names of the participating members.
 For audio-only teleconferencing, each speaker should repeat their name
before making remarks.
 Votes should be conducted by roll call so that it is clear how each board
member voted.
 To preserve the executive nature of any portion of a meeting closed to the
public, the presiding officer should confirm with staff that no unauthorized
person is present and has access to the executive session.
 When resources exist to readily do so, boards should record meetings and
make the recordings electronically available to the public as soon as
practicable after a meeting.
Notwithstanding the above, board meetings whose agendas have already been
noticed as of the date of this Proclamation may proceed under the provisions of
the Sixth Supplemental Emergency Proclamation.
Chapter 92F, HRS, uniform information practices act, and Chapters 71 and
73, Title 2 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules, are suspended to the extent they
contain any deadlines for agencies, including deadlines for the OIP, relating to
requests for government records and/or complaints to OIP. As resources
permit, agencies are encouraged to respond to requests for government records
(UIPA Requests). To balance the needs of the public with the resources
available to government agencies during the COVID-19 crisis, agencies must
comply with the following minimum requirements:
 Agencies must acknowledge receipt of UIPA Requests. If a request is not
acknowledged, the requester may ask the Office of Information Practices
to verify that the agency received the UIPA Request.
 Agencies must retain UIPA Requests and may not destroy requested
records while a UIPA Request is pending.
 As resources permit, agencies shall in good faith:
o respond to UIPA Requests for information that do not require
redaction or substantial review of records without substantial delay;
and
o prioritize responding to UIPA Requests made in the public interest
where the requestor has the primary intent and actual ability to
widely disseminate the requested information to the general public.
EXHIBIT F

 Requests for government records not answered during the emergency
relief period must be answered in a reasonable period of time when the
suspension of laws is lifted.

way traffic through the shop. Remove items

such as candy dishes, self-serve coffee,
product samples, magazines, and paper reading
products from the common area.
(3) Have hand sanitizer available for all employees
and clients.
(4) Take inventory of personal protective equipment
(PPE), cleaning products, and EPA-registered
disinfecting products, and order supplies, if
necessary.
(5) Establish new policies requiring employees to
wear a face covering as described and
recommended by the CDC at all times when in the
shop, except while eating or drinking in a
break room. Salons may consider providing face
coverings to clients. Clients should wear a
face covering as described and recommended by
the CDC to the extent possible while receiving
services.

of the shop. It is recommended that clients
wait outside the shop until the operator is
ready to serve them.
(2) The use of a face covering as described and
recommended by the CDC is mandatory for all
employees at all times while in the shop.
Placing a clean towel over the face of the
client while at the sink is a good way to
protect their mouth, nose and eyes. Minimize
to the greatest degree possible, up-close,
direct face-to-face contact with clients.
(3) Before and after each client, require staff to
wash hands with soap and water for at least 20
seconds; properly clean and disinfect all
workstations, shampoo, manicure and pedicure
bowls, implements, and tools; ensure single use
and porous items, such as disposable capes or
cardboard nail files, are new; and follow
manufacturer’s requirements for product use,
formulations, and/or disposal. Consider

after using the phones, computer, cash register
or credit card machine. Wipe all surfaces
between each use.
(5) Advise employees and clients to stay at home if

they are not feeling well. Consider pre-
screening clients and ask if they have traveled

outside the county or experienced any COVID-19
symptoms in the past 14 days. Decline services

EXHIBIT G

for any client that answers yes.
(6) Discontinue the practice of physical social
greetings, such as hugs or handshakes.
(c) Any Operator who contracts COVID-19 or any other
contagious or infectious disease in a communicable
form shall not attend any person in any shop, nor
shall any person afflicted with such disease in

establishment. Any operator afflicted with any such
disease shall return to work in a shop only upon a
written statement from a physician that it is safe
for him or her to return to work.

violation of these rules, it may be closed immediately by public
health officials or by the Department.
