Fair enough it may be improving within the province, but where's the logic in allowing others into the province easily when they could be infected?

Smartest announcement I ever heard.

Now I know how to go without getting stopped.

Ah, the Public Health Mystery Ministry. Isn't A-nut-in charge there?
