I'm not sure the intention of this advice is that everyone will heed it. If it was, it would be a compulsory lock down. They are trying to flatten the peak of the virus, and by 'advising' I believe they've calculated that enough people will listen to stop the thing peaking, but not so many that it brings the numbers crashing down only for them to reignite with a vengeance later once restrictions are lifted.
