In general, though the government and police in India are acting with too blunt a force in this issue. Like UK PM mentioned even the need for going out of doors once per day for exercise, Indian PM says don't go out at all, which isn't practicable at all, since virtually all home delivery systems have been shut down (effectively, that is on paper essential services are to continue, but there is not enough framework done for that in many parts of the country, occasions where even the cops arrested the delivery people for curfew violation, and even more incidents where they were beat up).

Similary some states only allowing trucks with essential commodities to enter and exit. Now trucks coming with vegetables etc, often has to go back empty, but state not allowing entry/exit of empty trucks, likewise myriad issues of logistics are needed to be resolved.
