Speaking in a video from his home, Birmingham's health chief, added: "This evening the Prime Minister announced that we're going to go on lockdown. This means that we all have to stay at home.
"Only leave the house if you have to go out and get food, essential items or if you have to get medicine - otherwise stay home.
"Leave the house once a day for physical activity if you can't do it in your garden or within your household. Keep at least 2metres between you and anyone else.
"Unless your work is absolutely essential, and you can't do it from home, please stay home."
