Essential workers - continue to work, masks, precautions, etc.

Hand sanitizers must be available at all times
Some stores have introduced their own no in-store browsing policy.
People order online or by phone, get it delivered to their home/business or to their car/van/pickup waiting outside.
They don't enter.
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.
More retail:
Keep distance in queues, marked with stickers on floor
Have necessities section to reduce browsing
Floor markings to reduce random movement of customers
Staff wear masks/gloves at all times
Staff have temp checked before shift starts
Avoid cash whenever possible
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.
Early bottleneck was the number of test kits.
No longer the case.
There are no bottlenecks now.
