This is a handy chart released by Maui for arrivals into OGG (and Lanai/Molokai). It's dated 9/30 and I haven't seen a more recent update.

If your pre-travel test results are not yet in upon landing at OGG, authorities there will point out that most locations will not allow you to visit their property. So if you're staying at any of the properties in red or have a reservation at a time share property (which are illegal to stay at for any traveler subject to quarantine on any island), it's a good idea to make a back-up reservation at a property in green.

The same rule applies if a secondary test after landing at OGG comes in positive; most places won't allow you on-property:


Each county/island has also worked with the state Department of Health to acquire rooms and/or rental homes on each island to house people that cannot stay in their intended accommodations due to COVID (i.e.: waiting for test results, a positive test, or need to be separated from others in your party due to someone testing positive.) Those accommodations of last resort are paid for by each island; because you cannot leave them, the county will also provide a meal at mealtime delivered to your room (and not necessarily upscale room service...think more along the lines of a tray of food being delivered to a jail cell.)

As an example, the island of Hawaii acquired 50-something rooms from the Hilo Seaside hotel and an undisclosed number of homes in the Kona area for this need. However, the Mayor warned yesterday that 75% of these accommodations of last resort are currently occupied ...and that's prior to the arrival of pre-travel testing guests.
