Note above how to ask your question.

With Britain, Russia and Sweden among the countries confirming their first infections, the virus has now spread to more than two dozen nations,
and the spread of the virus is causing governments to work as rapidly as possible to reduce their exposure to the virus.

The verb 'send' acts like a causative verb here.
The underlined portion of the original sentence is a participle clause.
