We now have a two tier society, and about effin time.
If you have a vaccination certificate they have just announced that from Thursday lockdown restrictions no longer apply to you. That includes going to other comunas, (boroughs) or regions (Counties) and going out at the weekends.
Curfew does still apply though.
If you do not have your certificate then you may not travel to any other comuna or region and you may not go out at weekends, also you will need to apply for permissions to go into things like supermarkets and the like.
Predictably every quarantine centre now has truly massive queues as refusniks change their mind, people who said they were prevented for medical reasons realise that they're not and the lazy have reaiised that they'll be missing out.
And one thing Chileans hate is the thought of missing out.
There will be some injustices, I expect, though not as much as the sensationalist groups would have us believe. There will be some who cannot have a vaccine but much as society should care, it cannot restrict or endanger populations for tiny minorities.
