Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield has issued a Health Notice which leaves no doubt - fishing, swimming, surfing, hunting and tramping are banned.
Andrew Coster says the notice makes it clear what types of outdoor exercise and recreation people shouldn't do.
He says Police want people to stay safe but if a small number of people persist in deliberately flouting the restriction - they have the discretion to warn or arrest people.
Coster says by and large people are doing a tremendous job.
