On Aug. 6, 2020, Gov. David Ige signed the 11th Proclamation Related to the COVID-19 Emergency Interisland Travel Quarantine.

All persons traveling to the islands of Kauai, Hawaii, and Maui County and Kalawao to perform critical infrastructure functions as identified in Exhibit B (see page 35) of the Tenth Emergency Proclamation Related to COVID-19 Emergency must self-quarantine for 14-days or the duration of the person’s presence on the island, whichever is shorter, and may only break quarantine to perform their critical infrastructure functions. They must wear appropriate protective gear and follow the safe practices referenced in the Tenth Proclamation. We urge all of our contractors to follow the guidelines in our pledge, The Commitment of Hawaii’s Construction Industry: The Pledge to Avoid the Spread of COVID-19 on Hawaii’s Construction Sites.

The mandate will take effect on Tuesday, Aug. 11 at 12:01 a.m. until Monday, Aug. 31, 2020. Persons traveling to perform critical infrastructure functions will need to get a travel exemption from each of the counties:
