I urge all citizens of the State to follow the lockdown rules and guidelines. Your cooperation is very important to prevent the spread of virus infections. Together, we can defeat this epidemic'. 

Barricades have been put up by the police and strict action is being taken against those who leave the house for no legitimate reason.
