The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, acknowledging what has seemed clear for some time — the virus will likely spread to all countries on the globe.
As a result, more and more people are staying at home. Some are sick with this virus, while others are just minimizing their contact with the outside world in an attempt to keep healthy.
