This measure aims to <\/span><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">reduce the contagion curve of the region and protect its surroundings<\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"en-US\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span lang=\"en-US\">In the same way we can talk about confinement, because, on a larger scale, we talk about confining when we close the free movement of people in an area. This is the case of Igualada, Vilanova del Cam\u00ed, Santa Margarida de Montbui and \u00d3dena, who are in this situation because of the outbreak of COVID-19 and will not be able to leave their municipalities for 14 days, <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><strong>from 13 to 27 March<\/strong><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102881\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102881\" class=\"wp-image-102881 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/photo-of-grocery-store-1843260-1.jpg\" alt=\"grocery open 24h\" width=\"640\" height=\"457\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-102881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Lucas Ettore Chiereguini via Pexels<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_prepare_for_a_quarantine\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">How to prepare for a quarantine?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Whether it is confinement or quarantine, follow these guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The first thing you should have is a <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><strong>good pantry organization<\/strong>.<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> Rather buy frozen and non-perishable foods that are long lasting and easy to prepare instead of fresh produce.
