As the page says, our intention is to enforce the vaccination & testing policy described *on that page*. If the government loosens its policy, that's fine, but our policy still stands. > Given that infection rates in some countries are currently quite high > again, and that we have ~300 participants from N countries [0], the > probablity that someone unknowingly arrives with this unfriendly > virus in their body is not insignificant.

I've just had a breakthrough infection, and I'm sure many others have too. I would suggest that everyone do pre-arrival tests, and self-test regularly. There will be tests available on-site. We can recommend this in the arrival email. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
