I can confirm this. We are not allowed out of the house except on essential trips (food/medicine) and exercise within 2km of the house and then alone. We have to have a form for any of these activities. Many fines have been issued for breaches and the roads are now virtually empty. It makes me feel very safe and if tempted to go out I can easily convince myself not to. That's not so easy when it's just advisory.
