Coronavirus lockdown or coronavirus shutdown?
Is it "coronavirus lockdown" or "coronavirus shutdown"?
If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If not, when should I use each of them?
Would you please give me some examples?
Thank you

You can use whichever you like. I personally do not like "lockdown", even though everybody and their brother seems to be using it. It makes me feel locked in.

Actually, "shutdown" is used more often in the U.S. for when the branches of government can't agree on a budget, so they shut down the government
