Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
With respect to vaccine mandates, the national and also global epidemiological situation was very different from what we have today. Modelling showed the possibility of strong resurgence. We were in between alpha and delta variants.
While we did have a high vaccination rate even back then, there were pockets and subpopulations that were not vaccinated, including younger individuals. At that time, the government made the decision to increase the uptake of vaccines with the vaccine mandate to offer some additional protection and ensure that there was additional protection through the vaccine mandates at the time, particularly with respect to travel and small conveyances.
