- Negative test results should be uploaded onto this platform.
- Travelers are strongly encouraged to complete the forms at least 24 hours prior to arrival.

If a traveler’s test is NEGATIVE, they will be exempt from quarantine.
If a traveler’s test is POSITIVE, they SHOULD NOT travel to Maui County.
- If their positive test is returned after they arrive to Maui County, they must isolate at their place of lodging and follow all directions from the State Department of Health.
Travelers heading to Hawai‘i must upload their negative test result to the Safe Travels system prior to departure or, as an alternative to uploading, bring a hard copy of their negative test result with them when boarding their flight.
The policy change means that test results will not be accepted once a traveler arrives in Hawai‘i. Travelers who did not have a negative test result prior to departing for Hawai‘i, must self-quarantine for 10 days, without exception.
