O coronavirus outbreak does not cease and the disease spreads across different continents. In view of this, new developments were pointed out throughout this week in the Italy, the European country most affected by the epidemic.

The measures apply to 14 more provinces, takinguntil to the closure of Venice. Commercial establishments such as nightclubs, cinemas and museums are closed; churches and restaurants need to distance benches and tables. Sporting events have been suspended and the national football championship games take place without an audience.
The impacts of isolation on the economy are still unclear. The local FTSE MIB index was down 11% on the morning of Monday, March 9th. Milan, the place with the highest number of epidemics, is also the main financial center of the nation.
Furthermore, it is questionable whether Italians, traditionally used to flouting government bureaucratic rules, will actually follow the new norms. As can be seen, minutes after the announcement of the isolation, on Saturday afternoon, thousands of residents of Milan went to other regions of the country.
The regions of the southern region of the country, such as Calabria, Puglia and Sicily, now fear that these residents will arrive, this to avoid contagion and panic among the people. To sensitize the population, the government created the hashtag: #I'm staying at home.
O number of coronavirus cases in Italy is worrying, being placed as the third country in number of infected people. Behind only China and South Korea, there are already more than 7,000 confirmed cases, with more than 360 deaths.
The amount of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Brazil rose from 19 to 25 on Sunday, March 8th. Patients are present in seven states: São Paulo (16), Rio de Janeiro (3), Bahia (2), Minas Gerais (1), Espírito Santo (1), Alagoas (1) and the Federal District (1).
Worldwide there are more than 110,000 cases, totaling 3,840 deaths, another 62,000 have recovered.
