There's some good news for people from "the mainland" who plan to travel to the "Big Island" of Hawaii.
From Travel Weekly:
The Big Island of Hawaii has ended its requirement for a Covid-19 test upon arrival for out-of-state travelers as of June 1.
The island implemented the post-arrival testing in fall 2020 as part of the county's efforts to combat the spread of Covid-19. The testing was paid for and provided by the county and was in addition to the statewide requirement for all those traveling to Hawaii to receive a Covid-19 test within 72 hours of their departure for the state, or be subject to a quarantine period.
Originally the post-arrival testing applied to all arriving passengers, but in May travelers who had been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to arrival were exempted from the additional testing.
There are still some testing guidelines still in place for the rest of the state.
