The Hubei province, which is the focus of the dangerous epidemic, is continuing to be quarantined. Roads are closed and public transportation is out.
Fearing that the virus could spread even further, the United States imposed strict measures for foreigners who have been in China recently. Moreover, the three leading American airlines announced on Friday they would cancel flights to China.

According to the company for the analysis of travel data, Cirium, about 10,000 flights have been cancelled since the coronary explosion.
