Self-isolate and practice social distancing or the government will force you to, Health Minister warns

Can you still collect EI if you leave and the place doesn't close down? My husband is in this situation. Our province has declared a state of emergency and asked not essential bussiness' to close. They are staying open, riding that fine line because they definitely aren't essential but they claim they are. I have health conditions so does our daughter. His work wont put any measures in place customers are still lounging around the store, paying in cash, no social distancing being enforced :/ Would he apply for the regular EI (which he has the hours for) or the new EI? I'm just worried because it says you need a ROE and i'm worried they will put job abandonment or refusal to work or something and we absolutely can't survive with no income (%55 percent will be a challenge). This situation really sucks. He's very stressed feeling like he's risking our lives to feed/house us :/ I feel for everyone in this situation i know there are many of us...
