The corona virus has affected more than 80 countries around the world, and that have infected more than 98ooo of people from different places of the world. The World Health Organizations and Governments from different countries have taken several measures in stopping the virus to spread further. One of them is to close classrooms, plazas, malls, sport venues, cafes, museums and other tourist destinations that have the risk of collecting more people on small surface. They call the people from all over the world to stay home and self-isolate in order to stop the virus from spreading. These quarantine measures have left many public spaces absolutely deserted.
Since the corona virus outbreak attacked Italy, especially its Lombardy region, many of the most notable landmarks, such as Milan’s Piazza del Duomo in Italy, Saudi Arabia’s Grande Mosque, The Louvre Museum in Paris… have been closed for fear of furthering the spread. Tourist landmarks around the whole world have seen their visitor dwindle, and have left emptied and totally abandoned by the corona virus outbreak.
