Gov. David Ige has signed the latest COVID-19 emergency proclamation, keeps current COVID restrictions in place and officially adds cruise ship passengers to the list of travelers who must abide by Safe Travels Hawaiʻi requirements.

Cruise ships have already been following Safe Travels requirements through port agreements with the State of Hawaiʻi – which requires passengers to show a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination prior to deboarding. The current restrictions remain in place as Hawaiʻi continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

Except for the Emergency Proclamation Related to Grand Jury Impaneling that was signed on Jan. 3, 2022, this COVID-19 emergency proclamation will supersede all prior proclamations related to COVID-19, and will remain in effect through March 25, 2022, unless terminated or superseded by a separate proclamation.

Governor Ige continues to encourage residents to get fully vaccinated or make an appointment to get their booster shots if eligible.
