Why not drop the interisland quarantine and allow free access between the islands.  Many of the big hotels willnot be open in October anyway. Open small businesses and have them police their own bars and restaurants asa team.  One screws up that business is permanently closed and is fined $10,000. Business owners will forma posse to police themselves knowing what the result willbe if they default. The era of wrist slapping is over!
