The new precaution is being considered as officials report “surging case counts” fueled by omicron.
, the state's current"Safe Travels'' program says that travelers who don't want to quarantine for five days must either be fully vaccinated or present a negative COVID-19 test within one day of travel. Currently, “fully vaccinated” means that tourists must have received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
However, under the new rule, the program would adjust the definition of"fully vaccinated" to include booster shots. Gov. Ige said that the program wouldn’t change for a few weeks, which would give travelers time to adjust their plans. "We know that the community needs time to react to that, so we would have to provide at least two weeks for those who may not be up-to-date to … have the opportunity to go and get vaccinated if they need to," he told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
In the livestream, ABC News reported, Gov. Ige said he was speaking with county mayors about mandating boosters for indoor dining and other indoor activities. However, he said he would let that decision be made by each county leader.
