On November 18, 2020, two weeks before Governor Gavin Newsom issued a new stay-at-home order for California, my partner and I donned our masks and boarded a plane from San Francisco with Kauai, HI as our destination.
Neither of us had received our required pre-travel COVID-19 test results yet, and one of us was about to go into mandatory quarantine. Hawaii’s Safe Travels Program, the online registration system required for all travelers to Hawaii, stated we needed to have taken our tests within 72 hours of the final leg of our flight. We had both taken nasal swab COVID-19 tests earlier that week three days before for him, two for me. He had taken his test at CVS while I had taken mine at Kaiser Permanente.
