“It was not clear to me if I needed a negative Covid 19 test in order to travel to the island of Kauai. I spent $250 for a rapid response test only to be told I COULD NOT UPLOAD THE RESULTS because there was no exception around Kauai’s 10 day quarantine. I WASTED my money… I feel like I am being punished. If only I had subscribed to the SafeTravels Hawaii text message service alerts, this all could have been avoided!“
Alert: Thousands of travelers [3,700] were told to quarantine due to backlog in test verification [wrong tests taken] … State Office of Enterprise Technology Services [said] the process can take up to 3 or 4 days.
