Additionally, Reuters reported that the country ‘has advised citizens and residents against traveling abroad and all schools are closing for a month from Sunday.’ 

The World Health Organization officially declared the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, as a global pandemic on Wednesday. 

Meanwhile President Donald Trump announced a travel ban to and from Europe which would take effect on Friday. 

American citizens, people with green cards and the immediate family members of those aforementioned would be exempt and could return home, getting screened for the illness upon arrival.
