On June 19, the Executive Director of the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission issued a letter confirming that during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, employers may implement the following three medical examinations or inquiries:

1. asking employees entering the workplace whether they have any COVID-19 symptoms;
2. measuring employees’ body temperature; and
3. administering an accurate and reliable COVID-19 test.

This guidance is consistent with previously issued EEOC guidance.
