Given the current lockdowns aren't really lockdowns (so many people going in to office jobs just because management doesn't like work from home) that seems overdue, especially the part about reviewing the rules.
From what I hear the public health calls with people that test positive are not good. Lots of "No, I'm not staying home, Covid is just a cold" and "I'd lose too much income using EI, I'm still going to work". So I'm not surprised the current lockdowns are ineffective. There's too many people uninterested in following the rules in any way, so the only way to get compliance is to force shutdowns. Even then, the frequency with people that are supposed to be self isolation say things like "I haven't left home, just as you asked, but I had several friends over for pizza night" means there's lots of people that the rules are not getting through to.
