Now, some travelers to Hawaii will be allowed to skip the state’s 10-day quarantine – but there is a problem.
On Wednesday, CLEAR technology platform announced she partnered with Hawaii to launch a six-week program that “will enhance the Safe Travel Program in Hawaii, creating an easier and seamless travel experience,” a press release provided to Fox News said.
Travelers eligible to participate in the program will be able to skip the 10-day quarantine in Hawaii, provided they obtain a negative coronavirus test 72 hours after travel and record their results on the CLEAR Health Pass.
