He also stipulated that people with chronic illness, who are over 70 or are Indigenous people over 50, should all self-isolate.
"Stay-at-home except for the following reasons shopping for what you need, food and other essential (items)... for medical care or compassionate reasons, to exercise with compliance of public gathering roles which have already outlined and for work and education," he said.
“This does not mean they cannot go outside… but they should limit contact with others as much as possible.
"There is strong advice that people aged 70 and over should stay at home and self isolate for their own protection to the maximum extent practical."
"These arrangements should also apply to those with chronic illness..and indigenous people over the age of 50. "
