10 towns in northern Italy, with a population of around 50,000, have been locked down after scores of people tested positive for COVID-19 and 2 people died from the disease.

A 77-year-old woman who lived in Milan's Lombardy region died Saturday, the ANSA news agency reported. Her death came hours after a 78-year-old man died in the nearby city of Padua in the Veneto region.

Anyone who has been in contact with those infected is to remain at home for a quarantine period of 14 days, officials added. Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said Sunday that all schools in the city will remain closed for at least a week. A further 97 new deaths were also recorded, it said. A total of 2,442 people have died in mainland China since the outbreak began.

South Korea's president put the country on its highest alert for infectious diseases Sunday and said officials should take"unprecedented, powerful" steps to fight a viral outbreak.

At least they know how to keep people safe.

It’s spreading fast

So much for Quarantine and keeping it from spreading!!!!

The Chinese government continues to lie, and today they are trying to mislead the public, that they are innocent, and that the virus of Corona is not man-made !!! Indeed, the virus of corona is not made by a person, but by a Chinese demon.

Last Coronavirus Cruise Passenger Departs Ship, but Infection Concerns LingerThe last passenger on the coronavirus-hit Diamond Princess cruise ship disembarked Sunday, leaving hundreds of crew members on board and concerns about whether passengers who tested negative could turn positive. Now nuke that floating petri dish. Walter Russell Mead you f**king American honky!!!and the TESJ shame on you! The only reason the case numbers in this ship came high is because the passengers kept being tested and tested again. I am sure if they that test the entire populations that vigorously they will find millions infected already.
