I think at this point it’s not so much to stop Covid-positive individuals from coming in, but to identify and to track the emergence of the new variants?I don't even understand their reasoning. All countries have more than enough of their own population unmasked, out and about, and spreading Covid, and allowing it to mutate in doing so... so I'm not understanding why it matters if someone from another country has it and tries to enter your country. It's not like any county in the world has managed to 100% get rid of it!
