As well as implementing lockdowns or strict social distancing measures, many governments around the world closed their borders to non-citizens and nonresidents in an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19. According to a new Pew Research Centre analysis, around 93 percent of the world’s population or 7.2 billion people live in countries with travel restrictions.
