The coronavirus originating in Wuhan China is affecting the
global economy in many ways, and the situation is constantly
changing. The outbreak is disrupting supply chains, interrupting
cross-border travel, and even causing a popular international rugby
tournament to be "plunged into chaos."
Employers and their expat workers in particular must be mindful
of the coronavirus — known as COVID-19 — and the ways in which state
and local governments are responding. Rules related to immigration,
sheltering in place and more are changing rapidly in the face of
the outbreak. The situation is another reminder that while we may
live in a global economy, each country has its own laws and
regulations that must be followed.
