Hawaii plans to lift its Covid-19 quarantine requirement for travellers this month, meaning that starting on March 26 those arriving from other places in the United States won't have to show proof of vaccination or a negative test to avoid sequestering themselves for five days.

Those arriving in Hawaii from outside the country still must adhere to US federal guidelines, which vary depending on American citizenship. International tourists do not need to quarantine but still need proof of vaccination and a negative test, AP reported.

The governor said he would maintain Hawaii's indoor mask mandate at least through March 25, and would be evaluating whether to lift it after that.
