“That means each and every home within those postcodes from 11:59 tomorrow night will have to stay in their homes except for those four reasons and again, I stress, only when you need to use one of those four reasons,” Mr Andrews said during the announcement.

“You shouldn’t be going into those postcodes over the next four weeks unless it is for work and only for work that you have to do in person.”

Mr Andrews said police will be actively enforcing the stay-at-home order with booze-bus style random checks.
