Haha. As much as everything changes it stays the same. I lived there in 2014. A ruling that was made one day was changed by the next.

Yes you still arrive visa exempt for 30 days. You will still need insurance, hotel booking for 1 night while you wait for the test result, test also before flying and you will need to complete the TPass to get a QR code.
