Just when we thought things were improving and the economy
started reopening there was a dramatic uptick in the number of
COVID-19 cases. This has resulted in reinstating certain restrictions.
The types of restrictions and closures vary dramatically by city,
county, state and country. Following are a few websites to help you
navigate the confusion. Be warned, DO NOT plan on going to the
European Union countries anytime soon.
The EU countries are only allowing citizens from countries that
have a lower virus infection rate than exists in the EU. They have
issued a list of 15 countries whose citizens will be allowed to visit.
The US is not on the list. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-
