Tens of millions of people around the world have suddenly found themselves under various forms of lockdown as governments scrambled to impose new coronavirus-related restrictions over the past 24 hours.
But with different governments taking different approaches, many people have been left confused. If schools are shut in one country, is it really safe to send children into class in another? Why are restaurants shut but shops still open? Why are some countries advising non-essential travel while others are banning it?The extent of the measures partly depends on the severity of the epidemic in each country.
Meanwhile in France, the government has deployed 100,000 police officers to enforce the country's coronavirus lockdown. The French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner warned Monday that anyone leaving their homes would have to justify their movements.
