Hawaii To Waive 14 Day Quarantine For Those With A Negative COVID-19 Test

Hawaii has announced that starting August 1st, 2020 visitors will be able to avoid the mandatory 14 day quarantine if they can provide a negative COVID-19 test that has been taken within the last 72 hours. Alaska has a similar model in place currently, the key difference is that Alaska will test those on arrival without a test within 72 hours whereas Hawaii is saying that testing on arrival will not be provided as it’s not ‘practical for the islands’. Yesterday NY, NJ and CT announced that mandatory 14 day quarantine would be required for high risk states.
