KAHULUI, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Maui County will start post-arrival COVID tests for trans-Pacific passengers on May 4, Mayor Mike Victorino said Wednesday.
Officials have narrowed down their list of companies that will administer the tests at the airport in Kahului.
Anyone traveling from the mainland will have to take the test unless they can prove they’re fully vaccinated.
“If you bring your vaccination card, just like the intercounty travel and the card is something we are going to look at, and we can pretty much tell if it’s genuine or not,” Victorino said.

KAHULUI, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Fully vaccinated trans-Pacific passengers will be able to skip the mandatory post-arrival test on Maui when the program begins, Mayor Mike Victorino said.
“Trans-Pacific flights coming in, anyone that’s fully vaccinated and can show proof of the vaccination in that timeframe, will be allowed to skip the post-arrival test that we are instituting,” Victorino said.
The second test program has not been implemented yet, but the county is hoping to have it up and running soon. Officials are still reviewing bids.
