The Health Ministry officials need to understand the massive damages TO PEOPLE'S LIVES not just "the economy" "the tourist industry" etc.  Millions are still reeling from the 80% reduction in tourism due to the overly strict and irrational lockdowns, travel restrictions, etc and now the suspension of "test and go" due to the mild omicron covid cold that people are contracting (and getting immunity from) with hardly ANY deaths and many unneccesary "hospitalizaitons" due to people being freaked out by the gov't propaganda and policies.  Get real.  Would they opt to close down the tourism sector whenever there is a 'outbreak' of the flu during 'cold season'.  No.  So why are they doing this now!
