Neg COVID Test Not Accepted from Mayo for MN Couple in Hawaii Whaaaaaa????? Wait a second. I think we all know that Hawaii has been pretty locked down during this pandemic. And recently they did open most things again, but in order to travel to Hawaii you had the choice of either quarantine for 14 days, or produce a negative COVID test within the last 72 hours to be allowed into Hawaii. Purestock/ThinkStock So, this couple from Minnesota did just that... they got a test to make sure everything would be great for their dream vacation after a very stressful and trying year. I think we all know how relaxing a Hawaiian vacation sounds after this past year. But all did not go well, and it seems quite odd.
