The number of people flying into Hawai — including visitors — continues to increase. On Saturday, 1,117 people flew in, including 384 visitors (37 into Kona) and 115 who claimed they were intending to relocate to Hawaii (1 into Kona).

Everybody, whether resident or visitor or anybody else is subject to the mandatory 14-day self-quarantine. For those people who are coming in to perform essential services–for example, healthcare workers–they are allowed to leave their lodging to perform the work, but otherwise are still subject to the quarantine.

Following is information from Hawaii Tourism Authority, for passengers coming in by air from out of state.

This data was collected from the Hawaii Department of Transportation’s (DOT) new Mandatory Travel Declaration Form.

Crew = flight crew members

Transit = people who are in transit to another location through Hawaii and aren’t leaving the airport

Military = military exempt personnel

Exempt = people who are exempt from the 14-day quarantine after receiving prior approval from the state

Relocate to Hawaii = people who are moving to Hawaii

Returning Resident = people who indicate on the DOT’s form that they’re returning residents

Visitor = people who are not in the above categories

The following table shows what the Oahu visitors indicated as the purpose of their trip, and they can choose more than one. This data was collected from the DOT’s new Mandatory Travel Declaration Form.

The DOT’s new Mandatory Travel Declaration Form does not include a question about the type of accommodation.
