County: COVID-19 app won’t be mandatory for travelers
Hawaii County has no plans to make the state’s official COVID-19 exposure notification application mandatory on the Big Island.
The AlohaSafe Alert app, developed in partnership with the state Department of Health, the aio Foundation and the Hawaii Executive Collaborative, warns users if they have had extended contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Since the app’s launch last month, more than 52,000 people in Hawaii have downloaded the app.
