COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns

There are worldwide curfews, quarantines, and similar restrictions (variously described as stay-at-home orders, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns or lockdowns) related to the COVID-19 pandemic and established to prevent further spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19.[1]

Countries and territories around the world have enforced lockdowns of varying degrees. Some include total movement control while others have enforced restrictions based on time. Mostly, only essential businesses are allowed to remain open. Schools, universities and colleges have closed either on a nationwide or local basis in 172 countries, affecting approximately 98.5 per cent of the world's student population.[2]

All types of recreational venues and most public places have been affected.

Outbreak ongoing: Lockdown data as of June 29, 2020

Notes

  1. Lockdown was started in Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria on 20 March 2020. Three days later, it was expanded to the whole of Germany[46]
  2. Lockdown was first started in Northern Italy on 8 March 2020, then expanded to the rest of Italy the following day
  3. Lockdown was started in the regions of Erongo and Khomas but effectively enforced countrywide. On 14 April the lockdown was extended to 4 May and to all of Namibia.
  4. Except in Cebu City only where it was extended to 16 days
  5. Lockdown was extended to areas under high risk COVID-19 zones
  6. Lockdown was started in Metro Manila, but expanded to the rest of Luzon two days later, 17 March 2020
  7. In most Luzon areas only, except Metro Manila and selected areas of Luzon are on high risk COVID-19 zones
  8. Lockdown was extended to Metro Manila and remaining areas of Luzon
  9. Applies for mandatory holidays and further measures in each Russian region

In the table pandemic lockdowns are defined as the shutdown of parts of the economy,[172] due to non-pharmaceutical anti-pandemic measures and are enforceable by law like:

  • Closing of schools and kindergartens
  • Closing of non-essential shops (shops and stores apart from food, doctors and drug stores)
  • Closing of non-essential production
  • Cancellation of recreational venues and closing of public places
  • Curfews
  • Stay-at-home orders and total movement control

These measures are considered to have caused the coronavirus recession in 2020.[173] The table does not contain:

The pandemic has resulted in the largest number of shutdowns/lockdowns worldwide at the same time in history.. By 26 March, 1.7 billion people worldwide were under some form of lockdown,[174] which increased to 3.9 billion people by the first week of April — more than half of the world's population.[175][176]

Restrictions first began in China,[177] with other countries in East Asia like Vietnam soon following it in implementing widespread containment measures. Much of Europe, North America and Africa took much longer to bring in tough measures. Lockdowns between and within nations are of varying stringency.[178]

By mid April, nearly 300 million people, or about 90 per cent of the population, were under some form of lockdown in the United States,[179] around 100 million in the Philippines,[180] about 59 million in South Africa,[181] and 1.3 billion were under lockdown in India; the largest of all lockdowns.Check the list of COVID-19 Hotspots or containment Zones of India.[182][183]

By the end of April, around 300 million people were under lockdown in various countries of Europe, including but not limited to Italy, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom; while around 200 million people were under lockdown in Latin America.[180]

Countries and territories with lockdowns

China

China, where the pandemic originated, was the first country to enforce the quarantine and lockdown of cities and later whole provinces, starting at the end of January. Although such measures are a very old tool of epidemic control,[184][185] their use at the scale of a large city such as Wuhan or the even larger scale of provinces was controversial among experts at the time, with questions on their effectiveness[186][187][188] and their ethics.[189][185][190] Some public health experts, while not always condemning the measure, raised the issue of the inevitable psychological toll such measures would have.[191][192][193] An ex-World Health Organization (WHO) official who headed the organization's Western Pacific Region during the SARS outbreak said that "the containment of a city [hadn’t] been done in the history of international public health policy".[187] The WHO called the decision to quarantine Wuhan "new to science".[194] By early April, all lockdowns had ended or relaxed to a certain degree as the cases started to dwindle and the outbreak had come under control.[177][195]

Stay-at-home orders in the United States have come from several states and a large number of local jurisdictions, sometimes leading to conflicts between different levels of government and a patchwork of inconsistent dates and rules.[227][228][229]

On 15 March 2020, Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez Garced signed an executive order to order all citizens to stay home starting at 9 p.m. with exceptions in limited circumstances between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. Governmental operations and non-essential businesses were to be closed until 30 March.[230]

  • On 2 April, Georgia governor Brian Kemp issued stay-at-home order effective Friday, 3 April 2020, until Monday, 13 April 2020.[253] It overrules any local stay-at-home restrictions previously in place, and instructs residents to stay at home unless they're conducting "essential services," meaning either traveling to and from jobs or other exceptions, including buying groceries; purchasing medical equipment; going out to exercise; and visiting medical facilities.[254] The same day, Dr. Anthony Fauci publicly questioned why all states were not under stay-at-home orders.[255][256]

Native American Nations

On 20 March 2020, Navajo Nation announced that it broadened the stay-at-home order to cover the entire reservation, which is the largest reservation in the country.[258]

On 23 March 2020, Yakama Nation announced its "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order.[259]

Countries and territories without lockdowns

Almost all countries and territories affected with COVID-19 have introduced and enforced some form of lockdown. However, countries like South Korea and Taiwan, which relied on contact tracing by cellphones, have far fewer cases and death. Among the ones not following this strategy are, most notably, Sweden (with Belarus, the only European country not to do so).[260] Measures in Sweden included the closing of universities and high schools and asking older and at-risk residents to avoid social contact, while keeping restaurants, primary schools and kindergartens open.[261][262]

Countries in Asia without lockdowns include, Japan,[263] South Korea[264] and Indonesia.[265][266] These countries have not enforced any strict lockdowns but have rather implemented large-scale social distancing and face mask wearing measures.

Nicaragua[267] is also yet to impose a lockdown while a proposed lockdown by the government has been ordered to be delayed by the High Court in Malawi.[268]

In the United States, a handful of states have not introduced any lockdown-type measures (commonly known as "stay-at-home orders").[269][270]

Debate

While enjoying broad support among epidemiologists, the lockdowns are at times politically controversial. Intellectual support for the opposition, however, comes not from experts, but from writers in other fields.[273]
