Hawaii will from July 8 drop a requirement for pre-travel coronavirus testing and quarantine upon arrival for domestic travelers who have been fully vaccinated in the United States, Governor David Ige said.

“Hawaii is expected to reach a 60 per cent fully vaccinated rate by July 8. Because of that, we will be able to safely relax some of the travel and social restrictions currently in place”, the governor said on Twitter.

“Social gatherings will increase to 25 indoors and 75 outdoors statewide. Restaurants can also increase to 75pc capacity”, he said.
