PM Bennett opened the cabinet meeting by saying, "I want to say clearly here: Government decisions are not recommendations, they are binding. Whoever violates - will pay. Wearing a mask indoors - is a requirement, not a recommendation. Starting Wednesday - attending events will be allowed for the vaccinated, recovered and those with a negative test. This is a requirement, not a recommendation. Maintaining isolation - this is a must, not a recommendation. These are the duties of the citizen, and we will insist upon them."
