Travelers everywhere are facing disruptions from the worldwide spread of the coronavirus.

Some forged ahead with their plans and took extra precautions. But others canceled their trips.

Just over a week ago, we asked readers of The New York Times in the second group to tell us about their “staycation” plans, and to offer advice to others who find themselves in similar circumstances. In some cases, they planned on visiting restaurants or other public spaces, ideas that now may need to be put on hold until the crisis is resolved.

Following are their responses, which have been edited for clarity and length.

Do you have staycation plans of your own? If so, share them in the comments or email us at travel@nytimes.com, and we’ll publish another selection soon.
