Lockdown
There are several definitions for the term lockdown, the most common of which pertains to a state of containment or a restriction of progression. A lockdown is an emergency protocol to prevent people or information escaping, which usually can only be ordered by someone in command.

For example, in the case of buildings, a partial lockdown means that the doors leading outside of the building are locked and people may not exit or enter the building.
