2020-03-18 15:13:41

As the number of known cases of coronavirus in the US has surpassed 5,000 as of March 17, nations, states and localities are offering differing restrictions with varying degrees of enforcement. In the US, the Trump administration has warned against gatherings of more than 10 people and asked citizens to work from home if possible and avoid unnecessary travel.
 
Officials say that bars and restaurants should be avoided or closed in areas where the virus is rapidly spreading, but they are not alone. Beauty retailers are also being impacted by the spread of the coronavirus, and several major companies have already closed location in North America.
 
How long they remain closed depends on how long it takes for people to curb the spread of coronavirus. President Trump warned that the restrictions could grow more stringent and last well into summer.
