Dec. 1, 2021. Patrons may dine indoors with proof of full vaccination, verification of a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours or, have a signed letter from a medical provider confirming full recovery from a COVID-19 infection. “We are able to relax these restrictions because the people of Maui County have been mindful of the health and safety of others,” Mayor Victorino said. “With our low positivity rate and the ability to conduct outdoor activities in a safe manner, we feel comfortable loosening these restrictions. At the same time, we are aware of the new Omicron variant and are actively monitoring developments. We will continue to act thoughtfully according to the advice of medical experts.” After Dec. 1, all outdoor restrictions will be lifted as an expansion of Maui County’s “Safer Outdoors” initiative. Indoor commercial events planned for more than 75 participants will still require an exemption, and entities are encouraged to submit plans early to [email protected] Mayor Victorino’s announcement comes after Gov. David Ige stated last week that Hawaii mayors will determine their own public health emergency rules, as appropriate for their communities. The governor has retained the Safe Travels program for out-of-state travelers and a statewide requirement for all to wear face coverings indoors. # # # Read the full press release here PLEASE HELP CANCER PATIENTS IN WEST MAUI Re: Certificate of Need Application #20-17 - Establishment of Radiation Therapy Services CON Review Panel meeting, Hearing #3 of 3 Tri – Isle Subarea Health Planning Council review shall be held via Zoom meeting as follows: Time: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00 PM Hawaii Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/92399812158 Meeting ID: 923 9981 2158 Passcode:570247 Dial by your location Dial by your location +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) Meeting ID: 923 9981 2158 Passcode:570247 Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adfnGOb8u2 At each meeting, you or your representative will be given approximately 10 minutes for a presentation.
