It seems can't post links yet, but the new information is on the GoHawaii website under "Special Alerts"
I'm trying to research what a PCR vs a NAAT would be and from what I can see, a PCR is a specific subset of NAAT (so all PCRs are NAATs but not all NAATs are PCRs). This is from wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt I guess. Maybe they've actually made the test-type requirement more broad?
