Good move. Let’s keep it up!
But can we trust that these people WILL do the right thing and be responsible ?
I know of people who arrived back before the mandatory gov’t hotel quarantine that stayed inside their residences for twice the required time . I know of a family that put their young ones in guest houses for two weeks and forbid them to leave before they could come home into the house again but there was lots of stories going around about sightings of irresponsible people out and about when they should have been in their ‘self quarantine’.
I hope the supervision and monitoring on this is very close .
So we are relying on people to be responsible. Have you ever met people…
So what has changed to make this restriction lighter?
