"Unless mayor mitch decides otherwise"
Looks like Mitch has to "opt-in" by issuing an order which loosens our restrictions to the new limits set by Ige, especially if we want restaurants/bars at full capacity. Ige has to approve that order, but he will be in Scotland for a climate summit, because "COVID-19 continues to endanger the health, safety, and welfare
of the people of Hawai'i and requires the immediate and serious attention, effort, and sacrifice of all people in the State" (Executive Order 21-08, page 1).
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 21-08
(Statewide Limits for Social Gatherings, Restaurants, Bars, Social Establishments, and Gyms)
I . For statewide implementation and as defined by each county (and in accordance with definitions specified by each county)
...
4. This order supersedes less restrictive orders, rules, or directives of any of the counties to the limited extent necessary to carry out the limitations and restrictions contained herein.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth herein, the mayor of any county may issue orders, rules, or directives that are more restrictive.

Ige acknowledged his new policy was deliberately crafted with an eye on Kauai and Hawaii counties.
...
In other words, restaurants and bars on Kauai and Hawaii island will still be subject to a 50% limit unless those counties change their policies and begin requiring vaccination and testing checks at the door.
