While some good news is reported from China who, for the first time since the start of this pandemic, has reported only a handful of new COVID-19 domestic cases, other countries are in the mist of battling the spread of the virus and implementing social-distancing and travel restriction measures.
The coronavirus is now affecting almost every region of the world with cases reported in 183 countries and territories. Many countries are now closing their borders and airspace and implementing “shelter-in-place” and isolation measures for two to four weeks.
As of Friday afternoon, the United Kingdom's Prime Minister has announced a nation-wide lock-down, mandating that all restaurants, pubs and stores remain closed until further noticed. On Thursday, the United States Department of State issued its highest-level travel advisory, a Global Do Not Travel Warning advising U.S. citizens to avoid any travel abroad.
