Why do some countries have inconsistent rules about PCR?

Upvote:6

Because the people in charge decided it should be that way.

Covid requirements and rules are notoriously complicated and inconsistent all over the world. They are made by people with various levels of skill and understanding and with surprisingly little co-ordination across different departments, countries, states or even counties. A lot of these rules are also politically motivated and the political goal often overwrites any type of rational thinking.

A simple example: I was applying for exemption from quarantine and was denied because they didn't like the specific test I had. I moved one mile away to a different hotel (just a different administrative district) and they accepted the exact same test without any issue.
