INTRODUCTION Lockdown is a term used for “mass quarantine”, which basically suggests ”stay at home” (Lippi et al., 2020). For imposing social distancing and restrict- ing the movement of population in a speciϐic area, the government has passed this ordinance for coun- teracting an ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 (Lippi et al., 2020). This will mandate the residents to stay at their homes and are allowed to carry out essential activities like purchasing medicine, food and beverages and other all non-essential activities © International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences 1833
