"It is important that they remain in place for now. We need to pass five tests before we can think about moving on to the next phase in the coronavirus response. We are not there yet," the spokesman told reporters. "What we need to be focused on is everybody following the social distancing rules and ensuring that we have got the spread of this virus fully under control."
