Mayor Caldwell’s Emergency Order 2020-1119
The mandatory 14-day interisland self-quarantine has been partially reinstated effective today, Tuesday, August 11, in accordance with Governor Ige’s 11th emergency proclamation. This applies to any person arriving to Kauai, Hawaii Island or Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai), and traveling between these islands. It does not include interisland travelers arriving on Oahu. The period of self-quarantine will begin immediately upon arrival, and last 14 days or the duration of the person’s stay on the island, whichever is shorter.
All interisland travelers must complete the Mandatory Traveler Health Form before traveling. The form may be completed online in advance, but no more than 24 hours prior to your flight.
Construction is still considered “essential” and any employees traveling for work may apply for an exemption to the quarantine, however, exemptions for interisland travel must now be obtained by county. Below are the directions and references for each island:
Maui County
All interisland travelers arriving on Maui, Molokai or Lanai will be required to visit Maui County’s website to fill out the County of Maui Mandatory Travel Declaration Form. Those seeking a modified quarantine due to essential work must complete the Mandatory Travel Declaration Form and the Request for Limited Quarantine Form at least five days prior to the requestor's departure. Those who previously submitted a limited quarantine request by email do not need to resubmit the information through the new form.
Kauai County
Interisland travelers to the County of Kauai who believe they qualify for a modified quarantine should visit the Kauai County COVID-19 webpage and click on the “Modified Quarantine Request” button at the top of the page to complete the application form at least two days prior to the date of travel. Be prepared to provide travel details and reason for request. Click here for more information.
Hawaii County

Click here to apply for an exemption online. These travel forms must be filled out at least five days prior to the scheduled arrival date.
City and County of Honolulu
Interisland passengers traveling to Oahu do not have to self-quarantine. However, neighbor island residents traveling to Oahu for essential business should request an exemption from their County of residence for their return.
