I’m living in a city in Friuli Venezia Giulia. They have shut down all activities, schools, religious and movie theaters. Fun activity And Sports till Monday. I'm worried it might be longer if more people get affected. My city seems normal except with no tourist. Parents are very all over the place. We had been traveling last week and arrived in Venice Saturday evening. It really is a uncomfortable feeling when it's in your back yard. Thanks for all the updates.
Italy's top soccer league, Serie A, canceled at least four matches scheduled to be played in Lombardy and Veneto regions.
Atalanta versus Sassuolo, Hellas Verona versus Cagliari, Torino versus Parma, and Inter Milan versus Sampdoria were suspended, according to Serie A's website on Sunday.
The country's fashion capital, Milan, announced it would close its schools starting Monday for a week. School trips inside and outside Italy were also being canceled from Sunday, according to a statement by Italy's Ministry of Education.
The spike in numbers has also affected the end of Milan Fashion Week.
Fashion houses Giorgio Armani and Laura Biagiotti confirmed to CNN that they will be holding Sunday's fashion shows with no spectators and behind closed doors.
Venice Carnival is being suspended in the face of the outbreak, Luca Zaia, the governor of the Veneto region, announced Sunday.
Two of the region's 25 cases occurred in Venice, the popular tourist destination whose carnival celebrations attract visitors from across the world.
Zaia also announced a ban on public and private meetings, and closures of schools, universities and museums in the region.
CDC has confirmed 53 cases of novel coronavirus in the US
There are now 53 confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in the United States, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
These include 36 people who were aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, three people repatriated from China and 14 US cases.
This reflects an increase in 18 cases from Friday, all among Diamond Princess passengers. At the time, CDC officials said that there were additional passengers who had tested positive for the virus in Japan and would likely be added to the official US count once those test results had been adjudicated.
The 14 US cases include eight in California, one in Massachusetts, one in Washington state, one in Arizona, two in Illinois and one in Wisconsin. Among these cases, there are two instances of person-to-person transmission, one in Illinois and one in California.

Representatives from the southern California city of Costa Mesa will be in court this afternoon to continue its fight against housing coronavirus patients in its city.
Late Friday, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the possible use of the Fairview Developmental Center to quarantine patients who've tested positive for the coronavirus. In the complaint, the city says “Fairview is an inappropriate location for a quarantine, as there is no way to restrict access to or from the facility.”
A hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time Monday.

A WHO-led team of scientists that just returned from China found that the epidemic in China peaked and plateaued between Jan. 23 and Feb. 2 and has been declining steadily since then, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO, said at a press conference at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva.
The case fatality rate is between 2% and 4% inside the city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, and 0.7% outside of Wuhan, Tedros said, citing the team’s findings. For people with mild diseases, recovery time is two weeks, while people with severe or critical diseases recover in three to six weeks, he said.
While cases in China have slowed, the “sudden increase in new cases” outside of China is “deeply concerning,” Tedros said. Outside of China, there are 2,074 cases across 28 countries, including 23 deaths, he said.
“What we see is epidemics in different parts of the world, affecting countries in different ways and requiring a tailored response,” Tedros said.
WHO says coronavirus outbreak in China has peaked, new cases in Iran and Italy are 'deeply concerning'
I'm not sure how much other countries have already given.....maybe this group who are giving now are just late to the party.....like the UN funding.Nobody is sending money in to the WHO Emergency Fund. Seriously? Ireland, Slovakia, Japan, EU, UK, Canada while the rest of the world sits on its wallet? The giant in the room being the US...so we are just not going to contribute at all? Good grief...

Question about mutation if anyone knows the answer... does a mutation (or multiple mutations) basically equate to a new and different virus? If so, then multiple vaccines would be required?
Think about what we all know about no symptoms present but a carrier. What a waste of resources.......they should shut it down.Austria has said it will stop people suspected of carrying the coronavirus from crossing its border, after parts of northern Italy were put into lockdown over the weekend following a surge in cases.
“As far as the borders and cross-border traffic are concerned, we will proceed as follows: we will further tighten warning systems with our neighbours, we will immediately order a stop in the event of suspected cases, as happened last night,” Kurz said on Monday.
