Honolulu Reopens Large Events To Vaccinated, Masked Attendees … Football game attendance will be capped at 1,000 people, and indoor weddings are still banned with outdoor weddings requiring masks.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige and Honolulu Mayor Blangiardi on Friday announced new Covid-19 rules that will allow Oahu residents to attend football games, outdoor weddings and other events as long as they are fully vaccinated against the virus and wear face masks.
Ige and Blangiardi have been under pressure to allow people to attend University of Hawaii football games as Covid cases and hospitalizations have continued to fall. University of Hawaii is the only college among 130 colleges with major sports programs nationwide that doesn’t allow attendees at games.
The ban has been frustrating to local fans, particularly because studies show Covid spreads primarily indoors and outdoor transmission of the respiratory virus is extremely rare.
