It may be part of a quarantine, but a quarantine will usually involve an "Eingangssperre" as well, if you want, and other sanitary measures. "Ausgangssperre", or curfew, is more often associated with public unrest. I agree that curfew is not an exact equivalent: For example, a curfew for pubs is not an "Ausgangssperre"; and it is related to a specific time, the hour to "cover the fire", which "Ausgangssperre" is not. | |

Confinement to a place is the most important part of it, sometimes the only one; but often other safety measures like avoiding physical contact or preventing outside visitors from entering will be in force, which are not part of a simple confinement. | |

An "Ausgangssperre" just means a ban from leaving your home/current location. May it be for military reasons, because of civil unrest or because your local queen wants the roads to herself. | |
