Earlier this week, the government ordered people to only leave their homes under a list of “very limited purposes”, banned public gatherings of more than two people and ordered the closure of non-essential shops, as part of an unprecedented lockdown.
It has also closed schools, pubs, restaurants and cinemas in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.
