Last Friday, Hawaii Gov. David Ige approved Kauai’s re-entry into Hawaii’s Safe Travels program, after opting out in early December because of a rise in travel-related COVID cases and limited resources.
The move means that travel restrictions for the Garden Isle will ease. Previously, Kauai had one of the strictest restrictions in Hawaii but, starting on April 5, it will reopen to trans-Pacific travelers, who will be able to skip a 10-day quarantine with a negative test result prior to arrival.
