Boyfriend still visiting friends

Boyfriend of 3.5 years I feel is not taking corona seriously. I wfh, my DC will be off school as of Friday, I cut my socialising as recommended as I'd like to avoid getting ill. I am also the only adult in the household and if I get ill, we will struggle.
Boyfriend (mid 40ies) on the other hand finds it all quite funny. He physically goes to work every weekday, stays with me 4-5 nights a week, yesterday he was chatting how he is planning to go out with a colleague (didn't go in the end), today he is visiting his friend after work.
If I tell him to cut down on socialising, he just laughs off - it feels like some sort of statement of freedom and 'I cannot tell him what to do'.

I am tempted to tell him stay away from us. Not to come to my house if he continues like that. I love him but don't appreciate his attitude. WWYD?

Most people I know are still doing this. My sister said her friends were coming over today. I don’t think many people will listen or follow the advice tbh

I'd be more worried about intimate relations than him galivanting around (which I admit, is stupid).
