Kapanlagi.com - Lockdown can be one of the options to overcome the problem of the spread of the corona covid-19 virus that continues to expand. Until now, many countries have implemented it. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, lockdown has not been implemented nationally, but only locally in several areas. So, what are the differences between national lockdown and local lockdown?

The difference between national lockdown and local lockdown lies in its scope. National lockdown means closing access in and out on a national scale. Meanwhile, for local lockdown, the scale is clearly smaller, limited to areas such as cities.

Some regions in Indonesia that have implemented local lockdown are the city of Tegal, the city of Tasikmalaya, and the province of Papua. Meanwhile, countries that have implemented lockdown include China, Italy, France, Malaysia, and others.

So, what are the differences between lockdown in Indonesia and lockdown in various countries? Here are the differences:

 

1. Lockdown in Indonesia

The difference between lockdown in Indonesia and lockdown in various countries is closely related to its coverage or scale. Until now, the Indonesian government has not decided to implement a nationwide lockdown. Meanwhile, most countries like Malaysia, France, and Italy have implemented national lockdowns.

In one occasion, a representative from the National Disaster Management Agency even mentioned that Indonesia will not take the path of lockdown.

However, in reality, there are several cities and provinces that have decided to implement local lockdowns. Here are some areas in Indonesia that have announced lockdowns, followed by other regions.

Until now, more and more regions in Indonesia are implementing local lockdowns. Some lockdowns have been carried out at the village level independently. This suggests that self-imposed lockdowns could be an option accepted by most people.

2. Lockdown in China

China, the country of origin of the coronavirus COVID-19, also implemented a lockdown. The scope of the lockdown in China is slightly different from that in Indonesia. The lockdown in China started locally in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, then escalated to the provincial level, and eventually expanded to the entire country.

3. Lockdown in Malaysia

The Prime Minister of Malaysia finally announced a lockdown in the country from Monday, March 16, 2020, until March 31, 2020. The difference between the lockdown in Malaysia and Indonesia lies in the rules and penalties for violators.

The lockdown in Malaysia is strictly enforced. Violators will face penalties as determined, including a fine of 1,000 ringgit or a six-month imprisonment.

4. Lockdown in Belgium

The next country to implement a lockdown is Belgium. This Western European country decided to implement a lockdown from March 18, 2020, until April 5, 2020. The lockdown in Belgium is carried out by restricting the movement of its citizens. Citizens are only allowed to go out for urgent matters such as going to the hospital, pharmacy, supermarket, and others.

5. Lockdown in Jordan

Jordan is a country in the Middle East that has imposed a lockdown. The lockdown in Jordan is carried out by closing all border areas and requiring every citizen to stay at home. The sanctions imposed on violators of the lockdown rules are severe, which is a one-year imprisonment.

6. Lockdown in France

France announced a lockdown on March 17, 2020. The lockdown policy was implemented due to the increasing number of COVID-19 infections in France. During the lockdown period, French citizens are prohibited from leaving their homes except for essential matters.

An interesting and unique aspect of the lockdown in France compared to other countries is that France allows citizens to take their dogs for a walk occasionally. However, it is required that they do not go in groups.

Nevertheless, on the first day of its implementation, many French citizens still violated the lockdown rules. Those who violate the rules are subject to fines as a penalty.

7. Lockdown in India

The implementation of lockdown in India recently has attracted worldwide attention. The lockdown in India has actually caused chaos among the people. The chaos is triggered because as a result of the lockdown, many people have lost their jobs and it has led to hunger.

Similar to Indonesia, the impact of the spread of the coronavirus in India has caused a number of people in big cities to choose to return to their hometowns. However, the Indian government has also closed transportation access. That is why there is a lot of chaos during the implementation of the lockdown in India.

The difference between the lockdown in India and Indonesia lies in its scale, as the lockdown in India was implemented nationwide.

8. Lockdown in Italy

Italy currently has the highest number of deaths due to the coronavirus COVID-19. The government always emphasizes its people to practice self-quarantine. Citizens are prohibited from leaving their homes, even to go to the supermarket.

However, some Italian citizens have not followed these orders. As a result, the number of people infected with the coronavirus COVID-19 continues to increase until now.

That is the difference between the lockdown in Indonesia and in various countries around the world. Although Indonesia has not decided on a lockdown at the moment, it wouldn't hurt for you to find out various information about lockdowns.
