well you see, one way people generally divide goods and services is between "wants" and "needs". ultimately this is a false dichotomy that serves as a shortcut for a common sense but unspoken consensus, namely that everyone wants to keep living. there is no such thing as a need, a need in this context is simply an economic activity that allows the participant to keep living, which it's implied that generally everyone wants. "non-essential" services refer to the types of wants that aren't needs. since it is believed that there is a dangerous highly contagious virus in the air, it was decided in many places to only limit economic activity to "needs" for now to limit the spread, since that's the maximum you can do without causing greater harm.
