regional lockdown
Local movement restrictions
A regional lockdown is the restriction of movement and activity within a specific geographic area—a city, county, or province rather than an entire country.
The term gained wide use during the COVID-19 pandemic when governments imposed localized restrictions to contain outbreaks: The regional lockdown affected three northern provinces.
Regional lockdowns attempt to balance public health concerns against the economic disruption of nationwide measures.
