Nobody will want to come in unless they are coming home, and those people should be going back anyway, or staying away completely.
It worked pretty well for us, and no testing was needed.

"no monitoring team available" so make one lol. These don't have to be doctors or nurses, we could use police or military to do the job.
Once the borders are closed, there will not be many people to look after anyway

However, maybe the assumption should just be, not everyone will quarantine themselves. So the goal should be to get as many of them to do so as possible. Public shaming might be the solution, rather than forcing them to stay home.
Maybe full lockdown is the only viable solution, and some countries were just lucky to avoid it (and some may well get there)

You think they're going to do any of that?
Countries weren't just "lucky". The ones that didn't test and monitor to extent restricted flights and their border, If not closing them completely.
Which, as you know, we have still done neither.
Canada's "enhanced screening measures" consist of a touchscreen questionnaire and a pamphlet. Sometimes not even that. And we're talking about people coming back from
highly infected areas.

What i find really upsetting about this is that Canada had a much further head start than other countries and its been squandered completely.
The combination of a lack of transparency and action is probably the worst way of handling this.
But I'm not surprised in the least.
