Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says they will not impose a national lockdown as they will need to have a balance for people to access essential services.
He says the conditions for the current lockdown is stricter than the one previously.
Dr Fong says if they impose the national lockdown without the balance, there will be more problems.
He says they want to stop the virus but people will need to have the services such as food, health and other essentials provided to them.
