Only mass transmissions would activate the Civil Contingencies Act where the government can shut down public transport , stop mass gatherings to protect the public and close schools but evidence suggests that those measures are not very effective at stopping the spread of coronavirus.
If the Civil Contingencies Act is activated then it would be for several months at least but at the moment this is unlikely to happen.
