Any premier that relaxes the restrictions without making it available for everyone will be voted out and I think they know that and will not allow it.
They don't have to lift the restrictions to get the hubs going.
They players are told where to go, they go there, sit for 14 days and then games start thereafter.
I suspect they'll also be allowed to "quarantine together' so they can spend that 14 days training and getting back up to "match fitness" before the games start.
Finally, don't forget now that tests are readily available, and results are turned around within a matter of hours, you'd expect they'll all get tested before and after their trips and throughout the period they are in camp together to help identify any flare ups as quickly as possible.
