Italy Shuts Schools Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

VOA News

   Italian media reported Wednesday Italy was closing all schools and
   universities until mid-March amid a coronavirus outbreak as governments
   around the world continue to take measures to keep the virus from
   spreading.

   Italy reported a sharp increase in coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, up to
   79, the most outside of China. Iran, meanwhile, has again canceled
   Friday prayers in major cities.

   With China seeing a slowdown of new cases of the virus, the focus on
   containing the outbreak has shifted to places such as Italy and Iran,
   which have not only seen their own cases steadily increase, but have
   also had their citizens and others who traveled from those areas test
   positive while in other countries.

   India, which has linked cases to Italian tourists, said Wednesday the
   number of cases there jumped from five to 28.
