“We need to break the chains of transmission and slow the surge of COVID-19 cases – especially in the regions and locations of highest spread.
“The regional health authority restrictions are a short-term pause on non-essential activities to ensure we can maintain capacity within our health-care system and continue important essential activities.
“We need to slow down and take a step back to allow us to safely move forward in the weeks ahead.”
