The story had no "Two weeks to stop the spread" messaging. The lockdown was open-ended, although I seem to recall we thought it was supposed to be two weeks, then reviewed. In two weeks the headline would be "New Target - May 4" which was almost a month away.
The rules were adjusted to let landscapers go back to work.
On May 3 a story noted that the target date was now May 17. A "business analyst was quoted as saying he would still stay home because he thought "There wil be a couple of waves of death," and that the skyways should be all closed because they were a "cesspool" of disease.
On the 14th the lockdowns were modified: "faith gatherings of 10 or fewer" were permitted, and the paper noted that people "can leave the house more." Restaurants, bars, gyms, and the like would be closed until June 1st. Another order: "anyone who can work from home, must."
