1. Unfortunately, negative tests do not
prove that you don't have the virus: they're a pretty good indicator, but the virus is very hard to control, so a country might well decide that a pretty good indication is not good enough.
2. There are many parts of the world where a negative report could be bought--perhaps for less than the cost of a high-quality test. I do include quite a lot of places in the "First World" in this.
It really does look as though the only way to control this thing, at the moment, is by measures that look like overkill.
