Safe Travels Hawaii, the state’s COVID-19 testing entry program, hits 2 million travelers in March
Traveler screenings under Safe Travels Hawaii, the state’s COVID-19 testing entry program, passed the 2 million mark this week as March momentum fueled the visitor industry.
The state as of Wednesday had screened 2,007,136 travelers under Safe Travels, which started Oct. 15. The milestone comes as Hawaii marks one year since Gov. David Ige issued the state’s first shelter-in-place order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Certainly, the first six months of Hawaii Safe Travels hasn’t even come close to restoring the state’s tourism-dependent economy, which as of February was still well below pre-pandemic times.
