Step 1: Think of a restriction you heard a government imposing to try to fight COVID-19, like...
On March 12th, Ohio banned gatherings of more than 100 people
On March 15th, Saudi Arabia banned flights to and from hotspot countries
On March 10, New Rochelle, NY closed schools and businesses other than grocery stores
Any example back to December 1, 2019 welcome!
Step 2: Find an online news article that documents that restriction
Google News:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/Wikipedia's citations
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemicStep 3: Convince yourself that the restriction was
- By a government
- Mandatory (legally required)
- New (a change to the previous rules)
and was not ....
-A recomendation (CDC recommending canceling gatherings of more than 50 people)
-Private (Google requested its employees transition to working remotely)
-Pre-existing (Don't report that China currently has a ban on flights now, only report if China made the CHANGE on the date you give)
