Amnesty International called for alternatives, such as mask use and COVID-19 testing, to enable unvaccinated people to continue working and use public transport “without discrimination.” The group said in a late statement. Saturday.
Under the current rules, which will come into force until June 15, wearing a mask and a negative COVID-19 test will allow access to public transport and access to the workplace for people over the age of 50. Not enough.
