(replying here because in your flagged post you asked for lockdown laws that prevent you from going out to buy food) In BC and probably most of Canada, you have to quarantine for 14 days when you enter the country. You are not allowed out farther than your front yard/balcony, and you need to sign a form before you enter claiming that you acknowledge this and have arranged all necessary plans in advance to allow you to get the food and medication that you'll need. The penalty for violating this is $750,000 and/or six months in prison.

(Ah, yes, flag when you disagree. How does one challenge a flag?) There are similar quarantines for individual States in the U.S.A., or at least there were. However, once you've exited the true quarantine period, there are no restrictions on movement. In _this_ thread, the poster to whom I'm replying asserts that we are under quarantine in Texas, which we are not. Most of the restrictions from the State, counties, and local government apply to businesses, not to individuals. The recent face-covering order is a good one, to prevent coughing, sneezing, or just forceful talking from spreading to someone in front of you. However, we're free to move about as needed, as we should be. Anyone who wants to go 100% isolation, that's fine and I have no qualms. However, I prefer to take a few more calculated risks and live some semblance of my former life before the COVID-19.
