BOSTON (WHDH) - People traveling from Hawaii to Massachusetts will have to quarantine for 14 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test result beginning Friday.
The Aloha State was added to the long list of high-risk states required to face Massachusetts’ travel order, which went into effect on Aug. 1.
Visitors entering the Bay State from Hawaii, other high-risk states or internationally must complete a Massachusetts Travel Form prior to arrival.
From there, visitors will either need to quarantine for 14 days or submit a negative COVID-19 test result that was administered up to 72-hours prior to their arrival.
Failure to comply to these guidelines could result in a $500 fine per day.
Lower-risk states, which include Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Vermont, are not required to fill out a travel form or quarantine.
To be considered a lower-risk state, their average daily cases per 100,000 people must be below 6 and their positive test rate has to be below 5 percent.
