Does anyone know of a resource that tracks the dates of quarantines internationally? I have been looking into if and how this information is posted on government websites and found it quite difficult to answer the question of when a given country intends to re-open. Please also share if there’s a tool with this sort of information about administrative areas in the USA (or any other country). Hope y’all are well! PS: Thanks to @tophtucker and [@jeremiak](https://observablehq.com/@jeremiak) for their interesting discussion on [the COVID Tracking Project](https://covidtracking.com/) during the [Observable Virtual Community Meetup This Thursday 4/30 - 10am Pt](https://talk.observablehq.com/t/observable-virtual-community-meetup-this-thursday-4-30-10am-pt/3166). Thanks also to the Observable team for putting it on. ---

Just in case anyone is interested, here’s a regrettably manual account of a small group of countries that are collectively regarded as ‘South Asia’. I culled this information through general research drudgery - no data science ☹ > **[COVID-19 Country Openness](https://observablehq.com/d/8450ab848597368c)** > > India Security Status Country-wide lockdown through May 18th under MHA order No. 40-3/2020-DM-I(A) Affected Areas Graphic source: Wikipedia References Wikipedia: 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic in India Wikipedia: COVID-19 Pandemic in South Asia Council on... ---

Apparently US Dept. of State maintains updated information on country ‘openness’, e.g.: > **[Nepal International Travel Information](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Nepal.html#/)** > > Nepal international travel information and Travel Advisory The status updates are provided via the US embassies in country: > **[COVID-19 Information (Updated May 6, 2020) | U.S. Embassy in Nepal](https://np.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/)** > > Nepal COVID-19 Information Page Extension of Government Lockdown:  The Government of Nepal announced on May 6 an extension to the nationwide lockdown until 2359 hours on May 18, 2020. Per the lockdown order all residents and visitors throughout... ---

This is great! I think the COVID Tracking Project is working on a spreadsheet of this kind of info, but just about U.S. states, and I don’t think it’s ready or being shared yet. I’ve been wanting some structured list of local events to help with annotating charts.
