File photo / Dean PurcellDelta lockdown liaisons might prove irresistible to some people - but the urge to break bubbles can have serious health, legal and employment consequences. Infidelity or impulsive meet-ups can damage relationships, and in lockdown, can also land people in legal or employment trouble. Police said under alert level 4, travel for anything other than essential reasons was not permitted and people were required to stay at home. "Similarly, at alert level 3, travel should be minimised." At alert level 4, a person living alone can arrange with another person living alone or in a household to join their bubble, but this arrangement must be exclusive.
