Well, seems Iran is going Hubei way. Too late...

Iran is limiting travel between its major cities as it tries to halt the spread of the coronavirus
Health Minister Saeed Namaki said people should not use the break as an opportunity to travel.

He also urged Iranians to reduce the use of paper banknotes.
On other front, here is development from Thailand
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN20S1SV
The Thai government on Thursday announces new compulsory quarantine measure for arrivals from four countries and two territories in a bid to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
The quarantine announcement, published in the official Royal Gazette on Thursday, classified South Korea, China, Macao, Hong Kong, Italy and Iran as “dangerous communicable disease areas”.

This means that all arrivals from these places, including those that transit through them, will have to provide the authorities with their address and travel plan and be self-quarantined for 14 days.
Which essentially shuts down any tourism from these places or any other places/countries which later (inevitably) will be added into above list.

Taking bets how many days it will take to add whole Europe into that list...
