International Reactions to COVID-19
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Medical Research - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The recent outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus in China, which was tentatively named 2019-nCoV, and now officially declared as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO), [1] has caused a lot of panic around the world and forced nations to react with extreme measures. Whereas some of these reactions sought to support China, which is the central source of the outbreak, most of the reactions were meant to protect the international community from the risk of exposure to the fast-spreading infection. This commentary reviews the reactions from many countries across the globe, with regards to international supports rendered to China, closure of borders and visa restrictions, and expat evacuation and quarantining.
