“We were eating lunch during lockdown.
They entered my house without distancing.
Two unmasked women.
I said no.
They came anyway.”
— A Mother Whose Family Was Treated as Expendable
In this formal report to Mr. Kendrick Neely at the Environmental Health Department, Noelle Bonneannée outlines a flagrant breach of the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 by employees of the Department of Social Development (DSD).
Despite the existence of strict legal provisions for lockdown, including confinement to one’s residence and social distancing of at least six feet, two workers:
Insisted on a same-day home visit without lawful basis
Entered the family home unmasked
Did not maintain any distance from her or her four children
Stayed during mealtime, compounding risk of aerosol exposure
Polly complied under duress — not out of consent, but fear of retaliation due to their status as safeguarding officers.
📜 I. The Law They Ignored
Regulation 7A (1) required:
Residence confinement
Exceptions for essential workers only under regulated duties
Mandatory distancing of six feet
PPE and hygiene compliance
The DSD staff were not emergency responders, and the visit was neither urgent nor essential under public health guidelines.
💔 II. The Impact on Her Family
Emotional distress during lockdown
Increased infection risk to a household with severe asthma
Violation of privacy and health safety protocols
Undermining the government’s own legitimacy in public health enforcement
⚠️ III. SWANK Summary
You don’t protect children by endangering their airways.
You don’t uphold law by breaking it.
And you certainly don’t earn respect
by forcing your way into someone’s home during a pandemic —
with no PPE, no warrant, and no sense.
