24-hour lockdown

A 24-hour lockdown refers to a strict containment measure where individuals are required to stay within a designated area, such as their home or a specific facility, for an entire day. No one is allowed to leave or enter during this period, unless explicitly permitted for essential reasons. This approach is often used by health or security authorities to quickly contain the spread of illness, prevent the movement of potentially infected individuals, or manage security threats. It typically involves continuous monitoring to ensure compliance and is implemented to protect public health or safety.
