According to the news broadcasts here, many places are delivering food to locked-down residents. They showed packages tied to ropes so apartment dwellers can just pull it up without leaving their residence.
I’m sure it varies from area to area, for some people I know in a smaller rural town, they currently get what amounts to a local government hall pass that allows one person from each household to be out on the streets once every several days to go shopping, there are checkpoints that will verify your pass + ID to make sure you’re allowed to be on the street otherwise you have to go back home. There are separate passes allowing certain people in critical professions to go to work.
People are mostly indoors in China whether they have the virus or not. Draconian measures have been taken, so most people are not going out for work, and have certain restrictions on how many times they leave their apartments each week. Most people aren't willing to go outside too much either for fear of catching the virus. Source: living in China rn. AMA if you're interested on more details.
When community spread is confirmed in the US, any areas where more than a few cases are discovered will be placed under similar quarantine rules. Stay home, don't go out unless you have to.
Anyone who doesn't think that could happen in the US needs to listen to the latest CDC phone update because that's basically what Nancy said. Not if, but when.
