       根据合同法规定,由于不可抗力导致合同无法正常履行的,是可以免除责任的。此处不可抗力指的是不能预见,不能避免并且不能克服的客观情况,比如地震、海啸、瘟疫等。本次疫情就属于不可抗力,因此,因本次疫情而导致的违约责任,可以根据疫情的实际影响情况,实现全部或部分免除。

       当然,落实到具体案例,需要具体问题具体分析。

       请各经营户以及各位外商朋友放心。我们应该积极配合政府工作,自主在家隔离。

The force majeure refers to objective events and conditions that are unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable, such as earthquake, tsunami, plague, etc. This epidemic shall be deemed as a force majeure. Therefore, the default obligations caused by this epidemic shall be partial or total exempted.  However., Case-by-case basis.
