Ige: Safe Travels is working
Days after approving a request from Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami that will permit Kauai to temporarily opt out of the state’s Safe Travels program, Gov. David Ige said that the pre-travel testing initiative is working in Hawaii’s other counties.
“Kauai is really calling for a moratorium,” Ige said Monday when asked about the decision during a livestream with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “As you know, the COVID counts have actually been quite stable here in Hawaii, except for Kauai.”
Kauai, he said, has experienced a significant increase in the number of coronavirus cases there.
