Moreover, there was an insider who told the said news outlet that Maddox loved studying abroad and would’ve stayed if it wasn’t for his parents. It’s been reported that he underwent quarantine process and testing before he was approved to travel.

An announcement published in Yonsei News revealed that the University’s Academic Affairs Committee held an urgent meeting to discuss measures to inhibit spread in the classroom; thus, came up with a decision to extend the online classes until April 11, 2020.

Meanwhile, the United States reportedly has the most number of COVID-19 cases in the world. The country, now, has more than 83,500 cases (surpassing Italy and China), Aljazeera reported.

With the current state our world is in, with the chaos happening in almost every corner of the street, who wouldn’t want to be with your own family?
