Yesterday the United States president expanded the travel restriction to some European countries in a bid to check mate the spread of the virus in the United state .
According to AFP, more than 95,000 people have been infected and over 3,200 have died worldwide from the virus, which has now reached some 80 countries and territories.
In California, United States, Governor Gavin Newsom declared an emergency following the state’s first Coronavirus fatality — raising the US death toll to 11 — and a cruise ship was kept offshore after passengers and crew members developed symptoms.
The vast majority of global deaths and infections are in China where the virus first emerged late last year, prompting the country to quarantine entire cities, temporarily shut factories and close schools indefinitely.
As the virus has spread, other countries have also implemented extraordinary measures, with UNESCO saying on Wednesday that 13 countries have closed schools, affecting 290.5 million children, while nine others have implemented localised closures.
While temporary school closures during crises are not new, UNESCO chief, Audrey Azoulay, said, “The global scale and speed of the current educational disruption is unparalleled and if prolonged, could threaten the right to education.”
Italy on Wednesday ordered schools and universities shut until March 15, ramping up its response as the national death toll rose to 107, the deadliest outbreak outside China.
South Korea — the country with the largest number of cases outside China with nearly 6,000 — has postponed the start of the next term until March 23.
In Japan, nearly all schools are closed .
