On Monday, July 13, Governor of the State of Hawaii, David Ige, announced that the planned reopening of tourism from Saturday, August 1 will be postponed until at least the end of August.

From June 1, Ige Governor exempted the 14-day self-isolation measure by accepting tourists by presenting negative proof of PCR test received within 72 hours before traveling from August 1 Had announced that it would resume.

However, at today's legislative briefing, Governor Ige said, "We will postpone the 14-day self-isolation measures for all Hawaii arrivals until the end of August, and activate a corona pre-inspection to prevent the spread of infection from travelers. Pour."

Regarding the corona pre-screening test program that was scheduled to start in August, the Hawaii Department of Health Administration initially argued that a medical institution in Hawaii with the highest infection rate could respond. However, since the infection rate of the new corona in the mainland US has increased sharply since the end of last month, and the number of infected people has also increased rapidly in the states with many tourists to Hawaii, this plan should be taken in case of a sudden increase in the infection rate in Hawaii. Many people are worried about whether the inspection program will be able to deal with it.

Governor of Ige made this decision in response to concerns and pressure from lawmakers, including the mayors of the four islands of Hawaii. Among the opponents was Tulsi Gabbard, a member of the US House of Representatives (Democratic Party).

The Hawaii state legislature said, "A plan to pre-screen 72 hours prior to arrival in Hawaii is not appropriate for the situation right now. Simply increasing the risk of COVID-19 for people in the plane, hotel, and service industries would mean that I'm not trying to protect."

With this announcement, Hawaii's 14-day self-isolation measures for travelers starting in March will continue through May.

Hawaii, which decided to abandon the tourism resumption plan about two weeks later, did not lose the opportunity to rebuild the economy again, but it is noteworthy what action will be taken in the future.
