Colombia will block entry for all non-residents to stop coronavirus spread


Colombia will block entry for all non-residents and require residents who enter the country to self-isolate for 14 days beginning on Monday in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, President Ivan Duque announced this afternoon.

“Let me tell the country: from March 16, entry into the country is restricted for non-nationals and non-residents in Colombia. All Colombian passengers and foreign residents will have mandatory preventive isolation for 14 days,” Duque said on Twitter.
On Saturday, Duque announced that Colombia will close its border with Venezuela.

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation Sunday evening to announce "urgent and drastic measures" to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic in the country.

Ramaphosa also declared a "national state of disaster" for South Africa and said the country was now dealing with internal transmission of the virus.

“There can be no half measures,” he said.

Ramaphosa announced that travel will be prohibited from the following high-risk countries: Italy; Iran; South Korea; Spain; Germany; US; United Kingdom and China starting March 18.

Existing visas from citizens of those countries will also be cancelled. Any foreigner who visited high risk countries in the past twenty days will also be denied a visa.

Effective immediately, South African citizens are also advised to refrain from all forms of travel to or through the European Union, United States, United Kingdom and other identified high-risk countries such as China, Iran and South Korea.

South African government officials are barred from international travel as well.

went to the supermarket no frills @trick

everything is stocked back again and its empty

only thing is toilet paper, bread and sanitizer is out but everything else is available

people are dumb

plenty of trees in Canada, we’ll have plenty of toilet paper. That’s the one supply chain that won’t be effected

My moms auto plant is telling people to take two weeks off because their parts are made in China and there’s not enough parts and their materials are from China

So what we know is perception is about 3 weeks away from reality.
Things will get worse and worse and we are not flattening the curve.
All travel should be put on pause, borders closed and all stores should have some type of only so much groceries per household depending on family size.

But I get the feel that most countries are not looking at Italy and doing much.
Why is China the only country that had a goal to build a superhospital in 10 days?
Why isn't there an emergency plan to make more in country made respirators?
This is madness, I don't think any country is taking this seriously not only Trump

It's all a business. Look at how all these closures damaged the economy. A lot of people gonna suffer even if this is just a two week thing until the end of the month. Business shutting down, travel being restricted, money not being made, stock market going down. Who knows how the import and export market gonna be affected. Service industry gonna be hurting bad if a severe quarantine is implemented. Look at all the sports leagues and other stuff being cancelled. Even Disney and universal. That's tons of lost revenue for their employees and who knows how long they can pay them out if this thing lingers for longer than usual. Some companies might not even be able to help their employees. We just had a local youth fair cancelled. So that was a huge hit on all their staff. Even the other planned events around the country that people were working hard to prepare for and investing their time and money to. This gonna cause more issues than the virus itself.

pride cometh before destruction

canada also blew this
bum ass trudeau

I just turned on cp24 and they showed a clip of him saying while US and Italy had a spike because they closed borders to China, Canada didn’t and they tracked people down

man is just outright lying now, there is a spike right now and they’re not tracking or monitoring anyone

the lady who is the public health officer even just said they can’t track everyone

lol that's BS

Everyone acted before you guys. Look at Italy, South Korea, Vietnam, etc.

Asia doesn't count as they got it first. But if you don't think other countries look at what the US is doing, you're off. The President of the US is not called the leader of the free world for nothing.

yup
a large segment of people are living paycheck to paycheck. Now you may not even have a job. IF restaurants and bars close in any major city thats a sizeable amount of people who made good money of tips etc. now wondering where the next paycheck is.

look at how all these countries are shutting borders to everyone. South africa shut the border and gave a middle finger to UK

but english folks are still landing in pearson as of today

the whole world should have shut down their border to china for two weeks
