Europe is blocked by unprecedented measures of social isolation. Countries imposed strict restrictions on traveling and many businesses are closed. This affected the economy of the continent.

The transport is seriously hurt as many countries imposed special restrictions of truck drivers, being put under quarantine once return in their home. The border crossing points are reduced and congestions are big with several kilometers of queues.

Exactly these measures helped to get the spread of the virus under control. The healthcare systems of the countries in the US and Europe are overloaded, working at 100%. According to many experts the same state of emergency, which is declared in many countries, will continue by June.
