The first hour of shopping in supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. is exclusive for pregnant women and the elderly - no mixing of vulnerable groups.
The government is reliant on extensive testing (3.7% tested) and contact tracing.
Contact tracing worked very well when the cases were limited, - returning patients were tested and quarantined at the airport, etc.
It is getting more difficult now.

Gov has a hotline 444 for COVID emergencies.
Anyone flying from a "high-volume" COVID country (document from March 10) will be temperature measured at airport, tested at airport, wait until they get the result. Positive will go to gov quarantine.
Negative must self-isolate for 14 days at home and then retake test.

The just-flown-in and negative must stay in a separate bedroom or hotel, use a separate bed (from their spouses), separate washroom, towels, etc.
(My comment: Not sure if everyone can afford that.)

Testing: I made a mistake early on and said 3.7% of the population.
That may be inaccurate.
The current protocol is test - if positive, quarantine. If negative, self-isolate, then retest.
Some people were tested multiple times.
You get the picture.
