Don't forget domestic spread - national travel should be strongly discouraged. Cut flights, restrict interprovincial roads to essential travel only - especially since you can't contact trace road travel well at all. I wonder if CF has activated the reserves yet - that's a workforce of a minimum of 30K.
Nationalize/commandeer critical supplies/supply chains (Amazon, I am looking at you).

The message shouldn't be avoid be just travelling to x - the message should be avoid movement in general.

Its worth saying at this junction, that there is little if any evidence supporting transmission without close proximity in an outdoor environment.
Going for a walk is still a good idea, and helps mitigate both mental and physical health risks of inactivity and isolation/familial crowding.
Just don't get in anyone's face while you're out! LOL

Norway will temporarily shut all its airports from Monday in a move to curb the spread of coronavirus, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said on Saturday.
The government is ready to do all what is needed to secure the country’s economy, hit by business shutdowns due to the virus outbreak, and would seek to import medical equipment from China, she told a news conference.

I think going for a walk you can sort of control your distance form others while going to Costco etc you can't.

True, though that's more challenging in dense urban areas.
Yeah I am truly a bit disturbed by the crowds at the grocery stores - it's definitely not a great place to be at.

I didn't suggest going to Costco.
And most streets do not have high pedestrian traffic, and we have beautiful valleys whose trails are mostly clear of snow and ice as well.
There's ample room to stay a reasonable distance from most people.
Kindly refrain from paranoia, especially when not supported by epidemiological evidence.

They bought up Lysol wipes and resold them online for a profit. Now Amazon has blocked their account
The account of Manny Ranga and Violeta Perez was blocked for violating Amazon’s policy around inflating prices, according to a company spokesperson. The couple said they’d spent about $70,000 on Lysol wipes and liquid cleaners and made more than $100,000 in sales to individuals and businesses.

Unfounded and often ridiculous Asian mysticism around what people eat was what got us into this place. Indians, eat your cow dung if you wish, but let’s hope your neighbours in China stop eating civets, pangolins and bats. While we‘re at it, let‘s stop slaughtering Rhinos for boner pills.
I hope this new outbreak reduces the demand for wild animal meats and mystic potions.
