I would assume once a quick, accurate, and on the spot testing is available, the fourteen day quarantine can be adjusted.

The perfect world is to test every single arriving passenger, and quarantine the positives and allow the negatives to go on with their lives. Without testing every single passenger, everyone is assumed to be a positive carrier of COVID, and the 14 day quarantine still stands.
