I would rather they had dispensed with the masks, social distancing and definitely hand sanitizing.

In my opinion, this was a political move to appeal to unvaccinated locals, in view of upcoming elections.

Reads like the mask mandate in outdoor public spaces IS lifted.
Hand sanitizer still needs to be provided.

Wheels up in 60 hours!

I don't even know what the outdoor mask mandate was. Nobody was wearing masks outside.

100% agree. I think the quarantine should stay. If you watch the active case reports, we are still catching positive cases that were negative on arrival but positive later. They will now be allowed to spread in the community. Watch for an increase "Local Cases" and "Contacts of Cases" going forward.

Because we all know that hand sanitizing prevents Covid, while the jab just shrinks your balls.

Wish they had kept Q for unvaccinated and eliminated testing for vaccinated.
