As of March 18, 2020, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had reached 191?127, with 7807 deaths. Europe is now the epicentre of the pandemic. France, Italy, and Spain have imposed lockdowns and as The Lancet Oncology went to press, there were rumours that London might take similar action. The EU has introduced stringent border controls and schools have been closed across the continent. It is unclear how long the emergency measures will remain in place.
