Italy shuts nearly all shops amid virus

[Catherine]

Toronto has just shut its schools for the next three weeks or longer. The soccer(football), basketball and hockey games have been suspended. I have three sets of emails in my inbox explaining virus protocols. Quite simply, wash you hands and don't touch your face.
Our Prime Minister and his wife are now quarantined.
I am sure there is more to come.

Italy has had to take drastic measures to bring things under control. I am hoping we have contained it much sooner.
