Only 6 States Remain On MA's 'Low-Risk' Travel List
Hawaii is the latest state to be removed from the state's exempt list, following Rhode Island last week.
The number states people can travel from to Massachusetts without quarantining or producing a negative COVID-19 test is dwindling.
Hawaii is the second state to be removed from the list of states exempt from Gov. Charlie Baker's travel order, following Rhode Island's removal last week. The Department of Public Health said Hawaii was removed "due to increases in Hawaii’s positive test rate and cases per 100,000."
That means there are only six states still exempt from the order: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. Read more about the travel order here.

Visitors also need to fill out a travel form, which asks about recent travel and coronavirus testing, among other things.
