Judge Hans Fabricius granted all these orders on Friday.
He also ordered that members of the SANDF, police and metro police departments remain bound by the law to use only the minimum force that is reasonable to perform an official duty.
Fabricius awarded costs to the three people who brought the application, including Montsha.
In his judgment, Fabricius said the urgent application before him was of an unusual nature as it asked him to restate the law on the rights of all people.
Fabricius said all parties before court, including himself, were in agreement that the Covid-19 lockdown was necessary.
“The public is, however, entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, whether rich or poor.”
He said the public was entitled to the right to life and everyone has the right to freedom and security of the person.
Fabricius said the declaratory orders sought by the family “can assist in clarifying legal and constitutional obligations in a manner that promotes the protection and enforcement of the constitution and its values”.
