In the U.S., friends who have taken the test report wait times of up to 7 days for results, during which time the person being tested could catch COVID even if the result is negative. There is also a problem with false negatives (~3%, https://www.unionleader.com/news/health/coronavirus/state-of...).
But I have also read some other countries like Taiwan and Korea have better testing regimens in place, which high accuracy and fast results. Could Hawaii implement such a system for incoming travellers?
If it's true Hawaii better get use to having no tourism to their state. No one can just go get tested. You have to show multiple signs of covid before they will allow you to test, and at that point you surely won't be traveling. This is an unsustainable approach for a state which heavily relies on tourism to sustain itself.
