The coronavirus pandemic is forcing many people around the world to change the way they celebrate Lunar New Year, the most important holiday on the Chinese zodiac calendar.
Hundreds of millions of people often carry highways, trains and planes to return home and celebrate with their family. But governments are discouraging people from traveling this year, if not essential.
The 15-day festival begins on Friday, February 12, and this will be the Year of the Ox.
