Two Hawaii visitors arrested for falsifying vaccination cards, governor says

Two visitors to Hawaii from the United States mainland were arrested Sunday for falsifying vaccination cards, the governor posted on social media Wednesday afternoon.

In the post, Governor David Ige said that the two were violating the Emergency Proclamation that allows fully vaccinated travelers from the mainland to avoid taking a Covid-19 test and quarantining upon arrival to the islands.

Ige said the Attorney General's office was tipped off by a community member, and the arrests were made at the airport in Honolulu.

"AG investigators are committed to ensuring leads are investigated and thank the community for their assistance and support. Along those lines, the AG's office will investigate and prosecute those who cheat the Safe Travels program, which was established to keep our islands safe," Ige tweeted.

My vaccine card has a CDC emblem on the holder. With CDC being a govt agency, during a pandemic, 1 year isn’t enough
