In addition, Global Guardian recommends the following: - **Return **to the U.S. if currently abroad while commercial means are still available. Otherwise, prepare to remain abroad for an indefinite period.  - **Avoid** all international travel. - Practice advanced careful hygiene measures, including frequent hand washing and sanitizing. - Practice "social distancing" while in public spaces.  ##### **OuTLOOK** The outlook remains optimistic as several European countries are starting to see a significant decline in new cases 20-30 days after instituting aggressive lockdown measures. Many are now starting to re-open limited parts of their economies and the success of those restarts will be key for how other nations handle lifting of restrictions.  ![27 apr spain daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/27%20apr%20spain%20daily.png?width=600&name=27%20apr%20spain%20daily.png) ![27 apr ger daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/27%20apr%20ger%20daily.png?width=600&name=27%20apr%20ger%20daily.png) ##### **COVID-19 WEBINAR** Preparing for the New Normal | Friday, May 1, 2020 | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST Hear directly from Dale Buckner, CEO of Global Guardian along with Global Guardian team members Dr. Chris White, Jeffery Stutzman, and Michael Ballard as they share Global Guardian’s current assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic with a view to the future in order to help companies and individuals plan to confront this new and unprecedented challenge.
