There's no such thing as a state of emergency, only the state of war. Anything else needs to go through the parliament, directly or indirectly.
By indirectly I mean something akin to the USA executive order, but agreed upon the cabinet, not the PM, then countersigned by the President, who can veto it. Then it lasts 60 days and must be confirmed by the parliament, or becomes void.
Keep in mind the constitution was written right after WW2, so the writers were carrying the scars of "emergency measures" going into dictatorship.
There are a few things that can be done by the health ministry, but nothing as big as a country wide lockdown.
