In all instances the two parties are following the guidelines set out by the powers to be, and what we have been doing for the past year, what has been gained? Businesses may still require masks to shop or dine, we have been doing the mask thing for so long now, it is easier to get into line, just like wearing seat belts and how hard it was to get used to them, now buckle up automatically.
Now, travel on airlines, that is another animal. What have the airlines been doing now? Has there been outbreaks of COVID with increased air travel that has been traced? It will be interesting to read about the aftermath of Spring Break! Looking for numbers.

Not shopping - travel; air and sea at least. Already been announced that effective in June vaccine will be required to travel to Europe. Until now, with the vaccine in short supply, negative test is required.

Once we hit June, everyone will have had the opportunity to get the vaccine. No vaccine - no travel.
