Hawaii is letting tourists bypass the 14-day mandatory quarantine it put into place earlier this year, marking the reopening of the state to tourism.

As long as people get tested for COVID-19 before traveling to Hawaii, they can forgo the quarantine period as of Oct. 15, authorities said. Some will face mandatory post-travel testing, including travelers to the Big Island, while others will be encouraged to take tests several days after arrival.
