That's NPHET's advice, not necessarily what the government will do straight away. We paid the price last summer for their stupidly slow easing of restrictions, let's hope it's not the same now. We're in an amazing position now, just open everything up. I agree masks aren't a big deal, by the way, no problem wearing them in shops etc. for the foreseeable.
The journos seem a bit more confident today than yesterday that they'll go for a sweeping end to restrictions rather than the usual phased approach, though, which is good.
