The slow, dragged out removal of ALL restrictions continue.

With 72% having received the first dose of the vaccine, it would have been nice to see a complete removal of all restrictions.

It would be interesting to see the thoughts behind this decision.

Iceland has close to 90% partial vaccination + antibodies, more then 75% of 16 years and older are fully vaccinated. Iceland also has a lot better tracking system and quarantine protocol then most (all?) states in the USA. There hasn’t been a new unaccounted for Covid case in over a week in Iceland.

These might be some of the reasons for why Iceland is taking this step now, but not the USA.
