People are only permitted to leave home for the following five reasons:

1. Medical treatment, including COVID testing or vaccination

2. For essential goods and services, like groceries and medications

3. For work that is considered essential

4. For one hour of outdoor exercise a day within 5km from your home with one person or people from your house

5. To provide care and support to a family member or person who cannot support themselves.

 

In addition to this, there is a new direction on masks. For everyone in the lockdown area, masks must be worn if you leave your place of residence for one of these five reasons.
