Gov. David Ige announced on Wednesday that the state will begin its pre-travel testing program that will allow travelers coming in from out of state to avoid the 14-day quarantine if they have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arriving in the state. The interisland travel quarantine to neighbor islands is still in place, though Gov. Ige said he is working with the mayors to possibly implement an interisland pre-travel test, but nothing is in place yet.
