Gov. David Ige has signed an executive order that requires contractors and visitors at state facilities and on state property to provide their vaccination or testing status prior to entry. The Order takes effect on Sept. 13, 2021.


Executive Order 21-07 (Access to State Property) says, “… ensuring the safety of the government workforce during this ongoing escalation in COVID-19 cases, the hospitalizations, and deaths resulting from the Delta variant is essential for continued operation and service to the public, and now requires additional protections to the State workforce and public by requiring contractors and visitors to provide their vaccination or testing status as a condition of entry onto State property and into State facilities.”

The Waiʻanae Coast Comprehensive School-Based Health Centers are now providing COVID-19 and influenza antigen testing on site for students. Prior to service all students must have parent or guardian consent on file. Students in school presenting with symptoms/report direct contact may be seen for a medical visit and be tested.
