Safe Access Oahu program to require proof of vaccination or recent negative COVID test to enter many establishments

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse...

Customers at restaurants, gyms and other businesses will need to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the last 48-hours to enter the establishments beginning Sept. 13.
Mayor Rick Blangiardi announced the Safe Access Oahu program today, in hopes that it would decrease the high levels of COVID-19 infection on the island.

The program will be in affect for 60 days as data is collected, and city officials will evaluate its effectiveness.
“I really want this to come off as really more common sense and appeal in what we’re trying to do to combat this Delta variant and where we are with case counts, and really for the sake of the community,” Blangiardi said.
