Keith Buchanan, a DUP member of the assembly, asks what consideration was given to the impact of the measures on young people.
Foster says the executive took into account the impact of school closures from March. And it considered the impact on special needs pupils. She says that is why they decided to close schools for just a few extra days.
Colin McGrath, an SDLP member of the assembly, asks what financial help will be available for people.
Foster says the restrictions are coming into force on Friday, so people have time to plan.
