When the government pass these emergency laws, it won't matter if people agree to it or not, note the word 'instructed' not 'asked'.
There's been talk of using the police and the army to ensure compliance.

You seem to be the only one using the word "instruct".

Mr Hancock declined to give details of when the over-70s would be asked to self-isolate or how long the advice would last, saying: "We want to be ready to say that when we judge, based on the scientific advice, that the time has come."
"We know that when you ask people to do this sort of thing that they can tire of it, it also has negative impacts," he added.
...
So officials will ask those at most risk of developing severe illness to stay at home.
They believe if they get the timing right and people adhere to it the move could reduce the number of deaths by up to a third.

The compliance aspect is aimed at those WITH the virus.
