The CME Chicago Commodity Exchange, where users trade options and futures on BTC, stops working and closes the operating room. This will happen tomorrow - March 13, 2020. This is a precaution caused by the spread of a deadly virus.

Heads of the exchange noted that among employees there were no cases of infection. When the site returns to its usual schedule, it is not reported - it all depends on the medical recommendations for combating the pandemic, the CME reported.

To date, more than 1,300 cases of infection with the Chinese virus have already been officially recorded in America. Because of this, the president announced the termination of any transport links between the United States and Europe, including air and sea transportation. All routes will be closed for 30 days, and the new rules should take effect tomorrow at midnight.

Yesterday, coronavirus was diagnosed with Zen Yu Yong, one of the creators of the TorusLabs platform, who participated in the Ethereum conference in France. The entrepreneur warned everyone with whom he spoke about the risk of infection, and also advised himself to check for the presence of a virus in the body.
