David Ige (D) urged tourists not to visit the islands amid a surge in COVID-19 cases. During a press conference on Monday, the governor stated it was a risky time to travel to the state as ICU\u2019s have continued to fill up.<\/p>\n<p>Ige noted it would take six to seven weeks for a significant change in COVID-19 cases to be seen and suggested travel to be reduced to essential business activities only.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do know that it is not a good time to travel to the islands. Restaurant capacity has been restricted,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere is limited access to rental cars and we know that the visitors who choose to come to the islands will not have the typical kind of holiday that they expect to get when they visit Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This week, DOH released a new variant report stating that the Delta variant accounts for 93% of COVID-19 infections in Hawaii. <\/p>\n<p>The Delta variant may cause more than 2x as many infections.
