Here in the USA things are also starting to get bad as well. Here in Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday ordered all public and private K-12 schools to close for three weeks, beginning at the end of the school day Monday, in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The “extended spring break” will affect 1.7 million students as well as parents who will scramble to find childcare or make arrangements to work from home. The closure, which does not apply to daycare centers, could extend beyond the three-week period, the governor said. Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton also signed a public health order immediately banning gatherings of 100 or more people in confined indoor or outdoor spaces. The order exempts public transit, medical facilities, retail spaces, libraries and other transient settings as well as offices, restaurants, factories, athletic events without spectators and religious gatherings including weddings and funerals. Public health orders may be enforced by police but DeWine said he hopes people will abide by them out of a sense of civic duty and patriotism.
Grocery store shelves are also getting empty from people buying as soon as they are restocked. All the 24 hour stores are reducing their hours of being only open for 12 hours. It's a big change of life as we all knew just 1 week ago.
