I totally misunderstood, as though they were licensed to travel to and fro but were stopped for some other reason. Makes much more sense and I should have inferred that.

It's even worse. A positive PCR test (of 37+ cycles) doesn't mean you are infected with covid. It just means that they found a particle in yr nose.

If they would do less cycles (less than 30) you would be able to find people infected with covid that are possibly capable of transmitting it to other people.

yup, and in England some clinics were doing up to 42-45 cycles in order to produce a positive result during the first wave there

I just heard that all provinces in the country have been locked down... wait for it.
