Email received from Richard Takahata.
Early August is when Honolulu Parks and Recreation is planning/intending to re-open indoor recreation facilities/gyms, subject to new rules like proof of vaccination or COVID test results requirements. Will MTA also follow too (their latest update to emergency rules is posted today)?

Road races and triathlons allowed with a permit, starting group size subject to gathering size limit. The Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation intends to reopen its indoor facilities to the general public in the beginning of August 2021 following the completion of our popular Summer Fun Program. Providing a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for the nearly 5,300 registrants of this free, seasonal program is one of our top priorities. During that time, we are finalizing a department-specific reopening plan to allow more and more usage of the indoor facilities as more and more of our island population receives COVID-19 vaccines. We intend to release this plan once it is finalized. We appreciate the patience of the public as we work to make more and more of our park facilities available to our loyal park users.
