The past few weeks have seen the emergence of an ever increasing
series of border closures and travel restrictions as a means to
attempt to stem the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). These
closures are occurring in North America, Europe and globally. What
was for decades an open EU is arguably on a path to return to the
former dissected European country model. Here in the United States,
with businesses having employees work remotely, employers
respecting government mandates to close, and venues going quiet due
to “flatten the curve” initiatives, numerous challenges
to immigration laws have emerged. While many of these issues remain
fluid and subject to change, we are continuing to monitor them and
equally stand ready to assist navigating these challenging times
for our clients.
