A stay-at-home order (North America) or a movement control order (Southeast Asia) is an order from a government authority to restrict movements of a population as a mass quarantine strategy for suppressing, or mitigating, an epidemic, or pandemic, by ordering residents to stay home except for essential tasks or to work in essential businesses. In many cases, outdoor activities are allowed. Nonessential businesses are either closed or adapted to working from home.[1] In some regions, it has been implemented as a round-the-clock curfew[2] or called a shelter-in-place order, [3] but it is not to be confused with a shelter in place situation.[4] Similar measures have been used around the world, but the term lockdown is used instead.[5] Some officials have a concern that the word lockdown may send a wrong message for people to incorrectly think that it includes door-to-door searching for infected people to be forced into quarantines similar to the Hubei lockdown.[6]In the United States, the term lockdown has been widely used in emergency preparedness. A lockdown procedure requires immediate actions in hiding and locking all doors. Additional actions may be taken such as turning off lights and staying away from windows.[19][20] Students in all grade levels around the country participate in lockdown drills on a regular basis.[21] The word lockdown can also be associated with martial law to mean that people cannot leave their homes.[22] In an attempt to avoid confusion, Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago made a comment about the stay-at-home order of Illinois by trying to differentiate it from a lockdown or a martial law.[23] When states and counties across the United States issued an order to have residents to remain home, they either called it shelter-in-place order or stay-at-home order. It has been clarified that these orders are not lockdowns because residents are allowed to go in and out of their homes in limited circumstances.
