USAG-Kwajalein Atoll

Quarantine Expectation Letter

You are being quarantined because you could potentially have COVID-19. Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.

Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.

Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were potentially exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.

USAG-KA Exceptions for travel

USAG-KA, in coordination with the US Ambassador to the RMI, has negotiated limited exceptions for Kwajalein residents, new hires, and TDY personnel to travel to Kwajalein under strict quarantine procedures. These exceptions are limited to a maximum of approximately 20 people per week and all personnel must travel on ATI.

Quarantine Requirements

Personnel traveling to Kwajalein under an exception to the travel ban are required to complete a strict quarantine protocol that includes two weeks (14 days) of quarantine in Hawaii, two weeks (14 days) of quarantine on Kwajalein, and multiple COVID tests during those 4 weeks.

General Quarantine Guidelines

• Do not leave your hotel room/house once quarantine has started, the threshold of each door is your boundary. Exiting the hotel room/home, by crossing the threshold of the door, is breaking quarantine, and may result in immediate termination and removal from the Hale Koa or Kwajalein. If you are allowed to stay on the island your quarantine time will restart.

• No visitors are allowed. No face to face/person to person contact will be allowed with anyone outside of medical personnel.

If a pet waiver has been approved through USAG-KA Health Systems Specialist Sue Mosier, 805-355-2354, suzanne.m.mosier.civ@mail.mil, a boarding service must be coordinated by the traveler while in Hawaii. Coordination for pet pick-up the morning of the flight to Kwajalein and all other pet transportation requirements are the traveler’s responsibility. Do all of the above coordination prior to your arrival at the Hale Koa.

• Conduct adequate planning prior to your arrival for quarantine at the Hale Koa.

RMI Phase 2 Quarantine Period Changes for Persons Traveling into the RMI from

Countries with COVID-19 Community Transmission

As of 25 March 2021, the duration of the Second Phase of Quarantine on Kwajalein Atoll has been revised to 14 days. The total period of quarantine is now 28 days. This applies to all individuals entering the RMI from countries deemed high risk for COVID-19 transmission (where community transmission is present).

The two-phased quarantine strategy remains in place and includes the following components:

1. Phase 1- Secure and monitored hotel quarantine for 14 days in Hawaii: This includes a COVID-19 PCR test and an antibody test prior to entering quarantine, then another COVID PCR test on day 1 and a final COVID PCR test within 48 hours of scheduled departure from Honolulu.

2. Phase 2- Secure and monitored quarantine on Kwajalein Atoll for 14 days: This includes COVID-19 PCR tests and antigen tests on days 7 & 14.

This guidance is consistent with current WHO guidance on travel quarantine as well as other national health ministries and other public health agencies. This time period reflects the maximum incubation period for COVID-19 and includes individuals vaccinated against COVID-19 as well as unvaccinated individuals. COVID-19 variants of concern currently follow an incubation period of 14 days.

These quarantine procedures are subject to periodical review by the Ministry of Health.

For Immediate Release

23 November 2021

Quarantine Days in Honolulu to be reduced

On 18 November 2021, the Cabinet met and approved in principle the National Disaster

Committee’s recommendation to reduce the quarantine days in Honolulu, Hawaii from

7 days to 3 days for fully vaccinated individuals set to return to the RMI. The approval in principle is dependent on the National Disaster Committee and the Ministry of

Health and Human Services carrying out public awareness for the community, including leaders between November and January 2022.

Because the CDC has approved emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine for the 5-11 year old age group, and in the RMI this was launched on Friday, 19 November 2021, in

Majuro, starting from 1 January 2022, 5+ year old children and older will need to be fully vaccinated prior to entering the RMI.

The public is urged to continue practicing COVID-19 protective measures.
