As the page says, our intention is to enforce the vaccination & testing
policy described *on that page*. If the government loosens its policy,
that's fine, but our policy still stands.

This is fairly likely, even with a vaccination policy. I've just had a
breakthrough infection, and I'm sure many others have too.
I would suggest that everyone do pre-arrival tests, and self-test
regularly. There will be tests available on-site. We can recommend this
in the arrival email.
