All arrivals in the state should be temperature tested and even if not showing signs they should self-isolate for 14 days.

Instead of panic buying just maintain a month’s supply and we can work through this. All politics should be forgotten, everyone work together for the greater good and look out for each other. Don’t panic, don’t whinge, get on with life and make sure we stay as safe as possible.
