Umm .. 24% increase to 134 means, what, 26 extra deaths? And how many more than 23 would have died due to COVID without mitigations (quite aside from teenagers being vectors.) So you are saying entirely lift all mitigations due to a couple of dozen (very sad) deaths in the middle of literally 100s of thousands of deaths, and also exclude e.g. reduction in other deaths due to reduced transport and other infections.

So, yeah, the restrictions haven't been immediately lifted because that would be entirely unjustified.
