Hawaii could drop the requirement to wear masks indoors early in the new year. State Lt. Gov. Josh Green predicts Gov. David Ige will likely announce at end to masks after the holidays.
"The governor and some of the mayors probably are a little concerned about what could happen over Thanksgiving and Christmas when people gather," Green said.
"I suspect there will be significant pressure on the governor to get rid of most of the restrictions right after the New Year."
Over 71% of Hawaii residents are fully vaccinated and infection rates have progressively declined in recent weeks.
