Hawaii will relax restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic for tourists and residents on July 8. Governor David Ige told a news conference on Thursday that the state expects to have 60% of the population fully vaccinated by July 8, allowing for restrictions to be eased.

After that date, tourists headed to Hawaii will no longer be required to be tested for COVID-19 before traveling and will no longer have to undergo quarantine, if they can prove they are fully vaccinated. Hawaii is also allowing restaurants to fill up to 75% of their seating capacity on July 8. Governor also said he is confident that the state will hit the 60% vaccination mark by July 8 but would consider further restrictions if there is a sustained spike in COVID cases.
