Kaiwahine Village, one of Maui’s newest affordable housing developments is now accepting residents.

Almost everyone on Maui and across the state has felt the financial impacts of COVID-19 in some way. Even with reassurances from the Governor’s office on Oahu that life in Hawaii will return to some form of normal soon, there are still families who are struggling to pay their bills every month and will continue to struggle as Hawaii’s economy recovers.
Molokini has long been one of Maui’s most popular day trip destinations for snorkeling and diving. While tickets are affordable and there are dozens of boats that travel there every day, the amount of damage done by such a large number of boats and tourists is difficult to ignore.

As many Maui residents eagerly await the return of tourism to the islands, they will, unfortunately, have to continue waiting until Governor Ige deems it safe to let travelers return to the islands without a mandatory quarantine. The 14-day travel quarantine will now be extended until July 31st.
The 14-day quarantine rule for all visitors and even returning residents to the State of Hawaii is still in effect until at least July 1st.
In spite of the quarantine, more visitors keep arriving in Hawaii each day. On Sunday, 1891 people arrived in Hawaii. Of course, this is nothing compared to the average daily visitor count last year which was close to 30,000.
