A few months ago, Hawaii Gov. David Ige asked that people refrain from traveling to Hawaii.

Now that cases of COVID-19 are subsiding, he says all are welcome starting November 1. That is, people who are vaccinated are welcome.

Travel Agent Central reported:

Hawaii will allow for vaccinated residents and domestic visitors to travel to and between the islands starting November 1. Hawaii Governor David Ige made the announcement earlier this week at Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, according to the Star Advertiser.

“I think we are all encouraged by what we’ve seen over the last several weeks with the continuing trend of lower case counts,” Ige said at the time. “Our hospitals are doing better, and we have fewer COVID patients in them. Most importantly, our health care system has responded, and we have the ability to move forward with economic recovery. Because of this, it is now safe for fully vaccinated residents and visitors to resume non-essential travel to and within the State of Hawaii.”
