Italy as we know it especially hard by the outbreak.

Now that country is on virtual lock down.

James Longman just returned from Italy and has more.

Good Morning, James.

Good morning, Robin.

This is a major step up in Italy.

All schools to close across the country until March 15th ease the most drastic measures to contain the virus in Europe.

There now school closures of some kind in 22 countries across three continents and warnings United States may take similar precautions.

When I was talking about something like 300 million students around the world possibly facing disruption, the United Nations is warning about an unparalleled scale and speed of educational disruption.

Italy's also banning fans from attending sporting events will still go on just two empty stadiums.

More than 3000 Cronus virus cases have been confirmed in Italy, with more than 100 deaths.

Over in Paris.

The move is back open, but with new guidelines to make Museum Star feels safer now.

Now no longer have to physically restrain those large crowds we see often at the famous Mona Lisa.

There were frequent breaks for hand washing, and even though there's no evidence the bug can travel on banknotes, employees will only take credit cards as a form of payment.

There are so many changes happening for so many people because of all this.

Amy.

All right, James Longman.

Thank you.
