1. Coronavirus diary. How it started. Rīga International Airport, March 11, 2020

The virus was confirmed to have reached Latvia on 2 March 2020, having been brought along with people returning from abroad.

The government of Latvia declared a state of emergency on 13 March 2020 with a number of epidemiological safety measures and restrictions, primarily limiting gatherings, TRAVEL, most public venues, and educational institutions.

I was on holiday at home when new restriction plan was declared. My trip back to UK was supposed to be on 14th March but as per new measures Latvia was going to close the borders and cancel all travels out to UK. I managed to book the flight and return to UK with The Last Plane To UK, that left Latvia 11th March
