If it's 1 thing that OMICRON shows us is that current travel protocols DON'T WORK.
What we need is strict 10 day quarantines for ALL travellers. Every passenger should be treated as a vehicle for the virus unless proven otherwise. Facilities would be run like biohazard facilities so everyone working there gets suited up. Ensure no contact, and quarantine hotels are run by the military/police. Yes, in effect, those hotels are prisons. On day 8 they get tested and only after a negative result are they released.
Either we have facilities like that or we build more hospitals. I know which one I'd prefer. And oh yeah, the traveller pays for it, not the government.
