The impact of the coronavirus and the lockdowns that have been put in place have had a world-wide impact. With major restrictions of movement happening in many countries, images have begun to emerge of major landmarks and attractions that are empty of the typical crowds and planes being parked at airports as air traffic has steadily decreased.
