South Korea raised its infectious disease alert to its highest level as confirmed coronavirus cases in the country rose above 600 and the death toll climbed to six
South Korea’s president said the government had raised the disease alert to the highest level, allowing authorities to send extra resources to Daegu city and Cheongdo county, which were designated “special care zones” on Friday.
The raised alert level also enables the government to forcibly prevent public activities and order the temporary closure of schools, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency said, although the government gave no immediate details on what steps could be taken.In Italy, schools and universities were closed and some soccer matches postponed in the affected northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto, the country’s industrial heartland.
The WHO says the virus is severe or critical in only a fifth of infected patients, and mild in the rest, but the potential economic impact of the disease was prominent at a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Riyadh. A third passenger from the virus-infected Diamond Princess cruise ship, a Japanese man in his 80s, died on Sunday, authorities said.
