    How are your countries handling the pandemic? Do you have any shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, lockdowns, grocery shortages, hoarding? Are any other things happening?

    Its getting worse in regard to govt calling for more isolation and crack down. Many businesses have closed, all sports etc ....rapid increase of unemployed which is serious
    More are coming out with virus but not as bad numbers as rest of world

    Unless there is a dramatic breakthrough by God, a vaccine produced or the virus peaking and running its course our leaders have said it will be like this for months
    As a believer I have peace but concerned with the community going crazy when more and more people are isolated

    God is still on the throne so our hope, faith and trust is in him - so a recovery is always around the corner

    Shut downs: all schools, secondary education, stores, restaurants...everything non-essential is closed. Schools don't go back till September. All sports, gyms, churches.... restrictions on how many can gather. Social distancing and they've started imposing fines, especially to those coming back from out of country and in some cases, province to province, mandatory 14 day self quarantine.

    No curfews that I know of but many cities have declared a state of emergency.

    Hoarding: absolutely. TP, paper towels, tissues, wipes of any kind, flour, baking essentials like yeast, cleaning supplies, diapers, canned goods...our smaller city is still doing ok but larger cities are really in bad shape.

    Same here. Lockdown until April 13th. No gatherings of more than five people.

    In Israel the streets are empty with the police and some troops enforcing the lockdown. The staff of Bridges For Peace have permits from the city to distribute aid to some of our many dependant families and soup kitchens. We are doing publications on-line. Also staff meetings and office computers are working through the internet. We had our IT guy set up encrypted links for our computers to our private servers so our staff people can work from home. We have 24 staff who have permission to do deliveries and some home repairs but the rest of us are not supposed to go more than 100 meters from home.
    We don't seem to have any hoarders and we are allowed to go to essential work places, grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores and a few other necessary places. Tomorrow I plan to invent some sort of fixture to attach a lamp to my ceiling.

    The airport is closed since days, except for today a flight to Newark

    Yesterday 30 doctors and nurse from Albania arrived in Bergamo, Italy to help there

    Switzerland:
    everything non-essential is closed.
    Who can does homeoffice, others keep working ( except risk groups)
    No groups over 5 on public ground
    Shops are allowing only shoppers acording to their square foot
    People should stay at home,
    people over 65 should not shop for themselves
    A lot of people who can not work are helping, like shopping for elderly
    Here nearly everybody believes that we have a serious situation, that we have to prevent as much as we can from getting sick,
    and that we have to keep the peak as low as possible so that the hospitals can handle the situation.
    Since the Intensive care beds are not full. we habe here patiients from France and Italy.

    CA has pretty much shut down.
    some food places, take out only.
    Groceries/pharmacies,
    schools, non essentials, etc..
    But, many people still are out and about.
    They're expecting our crush in 1-2 weeks, so we'll see.
