Disease Control and Prevention
Efforts to prevent the virus spreading include travel restrictions, quarantines, curfews, workplace hazard controls, event postponements and cancellations, and facility closures. These include the quarantine of Hubei, national or regional quarantines elsewhere in the world, curfew measures in China and South Korea, various border closures or incoming passenger restrictions, screening at airports and train stations, and outgoing passenger travel bans.
The pandemic has led to severe global socioeconomic disruption, the postponement or cancellation of sporting, religious, and cultural events, and widespread fears of supply shortages which have spurred panic buying. Schools and universities have closed either on a nationwide or local basis in more than 160 countries, affecting more than 1.5 billion students. Misinformation and conspiracy theories about the virus have spread online and there have been incidents of xenophobia and racism against Chinese, and other East and Southeast Asian people. As the pandemic spreads and hotspots form around the globe, such as those in Europe and the United States, discrimination against people from these hotspots has also occurred.
