Action will be taken if guidelines aren't followed
The chief minister is appealing for employers to be reasonable and responsible with the key worker status during the coronavirus restrictions.
After a lockdown was brought in earlier this week, only those in essential sectors, such as healthcare, education and the food industry, are permitted to attend their place of work.
All other workers are being asked to stay at home and follow social distancing guidelines.
Howard Quayle says action will be taken if companies are found to be abusing the system:
Court orders return of property seized by police
Number of bus services cancelled or at risk today
Court to order election recount
Charity to connect elderly people with services at event
