We're leaving for Hawaii (Big Island, then Aulani) on July 6, so we're missing the lifting of the testing requirements by two days (grrrr), so although we were all vaccinated months ago, we will get tested prior to our flight. But the fact that the testing and quarantine requirements for vaccinated travelers change two days later has me thinking about a what-if scenario.
What if, although we're vaccinated, one of us tests positive for the virus or, for whatever reason (lab glitch or something), does not have a negative test prior to departure. The current requirement is a mandatory 10 day quarantine. But what happens on July 8 to anyone who is in quarantine but has been vaccinated? Does their quarantine requirement end at that point, provided they upload a copy of their vaccination card?
I understand that it's highly unlikely, but not impossible, to test positive for the virus after being vaccinated. I'm just wondering if such a result should delay our trip, or if we should go ahead with it knowing that we'd only have to quarantine for one full day before the change goes into effect. I haven't seen an answer anywhere, but I'm just curious.
