How do you say CONFINAMIENTO in English?

  Al least air pollution decreased a little. I n Spanish, CONFINAMIENTO is a measure taken in order to reduce or prevent the widespread of a viral infection. The translation is not Confinement. In English, that word indicates the state or action of being confined so it is not the measure, but its result. The right translation for CONFINAMIENTO is then LOCKDOWN which is defined as an emergency situation in which people are not allowed to move freely for some imminent threat such as COVID 19 spread.
