The mandatory hotel quarantine really bothers me.
It doesn't make any sense that we need to quarantine in a hotelroom rather then in our apartment since we would meet exactly the same amount of people if not more people at a hotel.....

One reason for suppressing home quarantine is that some have entertained many friend/family visitors at their home. I am personally aware of someone who tried to organize a home party two days after arriving. The trick of sliding off the wristband has also been widely reported.
While Government here does not want to ban outbound travel outright (there may be constitutional problems doing so anyway), they're clearly trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible. You can still go, but you have to pretty keen (e.g. some family gravely ill).
