Despite a seven-day average of more than 600 positive COVID cases and restrictions on large gatherings on Oʻahu, Gov. David Ige held a press conference Monday and did not make any changes to COVID-19 restrictions.
The governor and the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority have discussed plans to limit travelers with various sections of the tourism industry (hotels, rental cars, airlines), but no concrete plans have been announced.
If the case numbers continue to exponentially grow, Ige said another lockdown may be expected in the future.
Hawaiʻi Department of Health Director Dr. Libby Char said the vaccine is the most effective method to combat the virus, and prevent a longer pandemic.
Sixty-two percent of Hawaiʻi's population is currently fully vaccinated. Information on the COVID-19 vaccine can be found here.
