  • buying groceries or medications
  • healthcare (including getting a vaccine), or to provide help, care or support
  • attending work or study if you cannot do either from home
  • childcare (for essential workers only)
  • exercise in your local area (10km radius of your residence and with no more than one person not from your household).

Carry a mask whenever you leave home. You must wear a face mask at all times when you are outside your home.

Children under 12 and people with particular medical conditions or disabilities do not need wear a mask. 

New restrictions have been introduced during the lockdown for home visitation, funeral, weddings, pubs, clubs, hospitality outlets and places of worship
