Kauai Ends Restrictions on Social Gatherings

Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami repealed the County's last emergency rule for the COVID-19 on March 1, 2022.

Previously, Emergency Rule 28 limited social gatherings and required events over gathering limits to ensure attendees were either fully vaccinated or showed proof of a negative COVID test. While the protocol is no longer mandatory, large event organizers are highly encouraged to promote these best practices as part of their business operations.
