Under the City’s order, “CISA essential workers/critical employees”  entering the City through the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (“DKI Airport”)  and who have obtained a limited exemption from the State with regard to  the State’s COVID-19 related self-quarantine for out-of-State travelers  (“Exemption Holder(s)”) are now subject to the following requirements:

  1. First post-arrival test. Upon arrival, Exemption Holders shall pay  for and take their first of the three mandated post-arrival COVID-19  tests at the lab located at the DKI Airport operated by the National  Kidney Foundation of Hawai‘i.
  2. Installation of LumiSight Workplace application. Before leaving the  DKI Airport, Exemption Holders shall install the LumiSight Workplace  mobile app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play (for  Android devices) on their own smart device and complete the registration  process, which includes providing a valid email address/contact phone  number, creating a password, and confirming the account with a  verification code. 
  3. Responding to daily wellness/location checks. For the period of ten  (10) calendar days following arrival in the City, Exemption Holders  shall respond to wellness and/or location checks via the LumiSight  Workplace application.  By voluntarily exercising the exemption granted  by the State, and using the LumiSight Workplace application, Exemption  Holders agree to share the location data provided at the time of their  responses to daily wellness/location checks, via the application, with  City and State authorities to ensure compliance with the exemption  granted.
  4. Compliance with terms of State’s limited exemption. Exemption  Holders shall comply with all other terms of the limited exemption  granted by the State (including, but not limited to, limitations on  travel within the City, and completion of the remaining two (2) COVID-19  tests).
  5. Isolation and immediate reporting of positive tests. If an Exemption  Holder tests positive for COVID‐19, that person shall be subject to  immediate isolation at their planned lodging accommodation (e.g., hotel,  legal vacation rental, or residence) — unless they cannot isolate  safely at such place, in which case the person shall lodge at one of the  City’s designated isolation/quarantine sites — as directed by a health  service providers or the DOH, and shall comply with all DOH protocols  related to positive COVID-19 infection.  Such person is also required to  immediately report the positive test to their respective organization  (if any).
  6. Consequences of non-compliance. Non-compliance with the requirements  of this Order 10 is punishable (1) as a misdemeanor, with fines of up  to $5,000, up to a year in jail, or both; and/or (2) ineligibility of  the individual and their organization (as applicable) from future  exemptions (as determined by the State).
