So if the bridge is loose until lockdown is lifted, avoid sticky foodstuffs from that side so that you can pull it off for more number of days. Incase it comes out do not try to fix it back on your own. Just keep it safe and you can get it evaluated personally from a prosthodontist or nearby dentist.
Next Steps
See a dentist asap
Health Tips
attempting to remove the loose bridge yourself or trying to fix it on your own can lead to further damage to the underlying teeth

So you would need to visit your dentist to get it evaluated and find the reason why is it getting loose.
There might be various reasons such as -
1. Decay in your teeth below the bridge
2. Dislodged filling on the tooth below the bridge
3. Cement disintegration over a period of time
4. Occlusal discrepancies
5. Gum issues
6. Loss of bone support around your teeth that support the bridge
In case of just cement disintegration over a period of time, your dentist would just clean it and refix your bridge if it is in proper condition
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and get an evaluation done

Hello, ideally it should not get loose within such a short span. But there could be various reason which can cause that so once the lockdown is over visit the dentist and get it re cemented if it comes out. Or if the problem is with the crown cutting and the overall preparation of the bridge than a fresh impression need to be taken and to be sent to lab to get it re fabricated.
