The Emergency Bill will allow police officers to support and enforce the public health measures in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This includes powers to detain and place individuals in appropriate isolation facilities, if necessary. The situation will be monitored carefully and further proportionate measures may be taken to support compliance in order to protect public health.
