How do you say TOQUE DE QUEDA in English?

"No...we're not here to enforce the CURFEW. We lost some money. Have you seen it?" When people have to remain off the streets for a number of hours (usually at night) we call that TOQUE DE QUEDA. This law is usually temporary in nature and is issued during times of civil unrest or some other reason of an equal status. This entry, for example, was written shortly after. the Coronavirus outbreak in Ecuador which led to a TOQUE DE QUEDA. Unlike Spanish, in English to say TOQUE DE QUEDA you only need one word: CURFEW.
