Oahu COVID-19 Information (2023)

Posted by kathywithak on October 10, 2021 in Featured

If this is an emergency, CALL 9-1-1.

(January 2023) Hawaii’s COVID-19 Testing sites are available and you are able to order free at-home test kits from USPS, as they last.

If you still have at-home test kits for COVID-19, review the expiration date as many brands have extended their expired dates for efficacy (re-posted January 4, 2023).


(August 2022) Whether you have tested positive for COVID-19 or not, reading up on the latest research and news is good for you and your loved ones.  This article on the Hawaii Department of Health site, “Doctors address a laundry list of long COVID symptoms” can help people understand why it’s good practice for regular hand washing and the optional face covering.

Also, the Hawaii State Department of Health’s latest “Home Isolation and Exposure Guide” is a printable guide for 2022.


  • (NOTE: As of August 2022, Honolulu County and Hawaii-wide face-covering practices are unchanged from March 2022. Businesses, school campuses, and other public places may have individual requests. Please call or visit their websites and social media accounts for their current requirements. Thank you!)
  • (Final update for face coverings: March 30, 2022) Wearing a face mask indoors has become optional with certain businesses and government buildings requiring continued use. Please adhere to local requests and within the City and County of Honolulu (as of March 6, 2022: “Safe Oahu Response Plan Ends”). Review: CDC “Types of Masks and Respirators” (9/23/2021)
  • When possible, physically social distance six feet apart from those who are not in your home or work bubble.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.

  • See link in image below for COVID-19 testing, vaccination, and booster site information. Read all information before heading to a site. Subject to change. (May 2022)

 


Posted May 22, 2022:

A good practice to continue is your own personal Wellness Check each day! Call your doctor for advisement when you are not feeling well.

Hawaii State Department of Health: “Celebrate Graduates Safely”

HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) salutes the Class of 2022. DOH recognizes the importance of graduations and what they mean to Hawai’i families. DOH encourages graduates and their families to celebrate safely.

Here are tips to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 while honoring our graduates.

  • Celebrate outdoors
  • Wear masks outdoors if crowded
  • Wear masks indoors
  • Reduce indoor gathering sizes
  • Have multiple small get-togethers rather than one large event
  • Use fans and open windows to improve ventilation
  • Spread out and maintain distance

Hawai‘i is averaging more than 925 new cases of COVID-19 every day. The true number of cases in the community is much higher as tests taken at home do not appear in the official data.

The CDC considers O’ahu, Maui, and Kaua’i to have high levels of COVID-19. Hawaii Island, Moloka’i and Lanai are also experiencing increasing case counts.

COVID-19 vaccination and testing options are available at hawaiicovid19.com.

Hawaii State Governor David Ige held a media conference and announced updates to the “Safe Travels Hawaii” program to begin March 26, 2022:

Beginning March 26, domestic travelers entering Hawaiʻi will no longer need to quarantine or show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test result.

— Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i (@GovHawaii) March 1, 2022

The statewide mask mandate will remain in place for now. Hawaiʻi maintained its mask mandate, and our consistency helped to keep COVID case numbers/hospitalizations as low as possible during the surge. It's one of the reasons Hawaiʻi has the 2nd lowest death rate in the country.

— Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i (@GovHawaii) March 1, 2022
