Laws were quickly passed to try to stop the spread of the disease. For example, stores in some countries were not allowed to hold sales to stop crowds gathering and spreading the flu even further, and medical certificates were required for travelers. Funerals were kept short to minimize the time people spent together. Just as had been the case during The Black Death, there were not enough coffins or grave diggers to bury all the dead.
