It’s no surprise that the USA is one of the top ten most affected countries by the notorious COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmaceutical Technology states that the number of confirmed cases continues to increase in several states from both the West Coast and the East Coast. Tourism has been greatly affected as it is a massive driving force to the US economy and with the viral outbreak making its way to more than 1,000 people all over the 50 states, it’s quite tricky to find out when and where to go in a crucial time like the present.
Those who are still making travel plans within the US, as well as those planning a trip from across the West should be wary of popular tourist attractions that are temporarily closed due to the virus. Do make note of these closed attractions when you’re planning your trip.
