● Reopening Hanauma Bay ●
Aloha! Hanauma Bay has finally reopened from December 2nd.
With the reopening, the admission fee for non-residents has increased, but I think the major change is the number of visitors. Until now, it seems that there were about 3000 people a day on average, but for the time being, the number of visitors will be limited to 720 people a day. Until now, the park was closed every Tuesday, but it will be closed on Monday as well.
In other words, only 3600 people can enter, 5 days a week. .. .. Oh Noooo !!
We have become a world where we have to coexist with Corona, but to be honest, it feels a little inconvenient to accept various restrictions. However, on the other hand, you may be able to have a relaxing time and space like Hawaii ❤ only for you and Hawaii ❤ only for me ♬.
Have a nice weekend ♪
● Be careful when using The Bus! ●
Aloha! The city of Honolulu recently added new rules regarding the types of masks required when boarding a city bus.
Rideable mask, double or triple cloth mask, disposable mask, double neck gaiter (neck warmer)
Masks that cannot be boarded ・ Masks with breathing valves or holes ・ Pull shirts to substitute for masks ・ Scarves ・ Bandanas ・ Face shields only
It's small and hard to see, but please check the photo below.
Personally, I think disposable masks are good, but I really hope that they will be "thrown away" and not reused for days.
Then everyone, have a wonderful day today ♬
● Vaccinated travelers may be exempt from Hawaiian quarantine ... ●
Aloha! As you may already know from yesterday's local news, Hawaii's Deputy Governor Green can travel to Hawaii without isolation if he is completely vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine (vaccine passport). We announced that we may be able to implement it from May at the earliest.
If the system works well, travelers to Hawaii are expecting (hoping) to triple by the fall.
Currently, it is said that we (healthy 16-64 years old) in Hawaii can be vaccinated probably in the summer. To be honest, there are still some fears and doubts about early vaccination, but it seems that it will be difficult to travel without vaccination.
● It seems that it will stay in Tier 2 until around 3/15 ... ●
Aloha! At our Honolulu office, we may be up to Tier 3 (*) than yesterday afternoon! !! I was expecting a lot, but I couldn't hear the news yesterday, and it was announced that I will stay in the current Tier 2 until around 3/15.
The road to Tier 3 is still a long way off, but I would like to continue to tighten my mind so that it does not go back.
* Honolulu County has a four-stage recovery framework based on the average number of people infected with the new coronavirus on Oahu and the positive rate over a seven-day period. Currently, Tier 2 (50 to 100 people a day) The number of infected people (2.5% to 5% positive rate).
Everyone Have a nice weekend!
