TOKYO (Reuters) - All Japan’s elementary, junior and high schools will be asked to close from March 2 until their upcoming spring break to help contain the coronavirus outbreak, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a task force fighting the virus on Thursday.

The news came after a woman working as a tour bus guide tested positive for the coronavirus for a second time, Osaka’s prefectural government said, the first known person in Japan and one of very few worldwide to do so amid growing concerns about the spread of the infection.

The number of cases in Japan has now risen to more than 200, up from the official tally of 186 late on Wednesday.

How was the chance to get the coronavirus twice ? that's UNLUCKY dude

She didn’t, they tested her twice and it came positive both times, they do it to confirm it was not a false positive

Traveling in tight circles (like a school) raises the rate of reinfection dramatically too.

Keeping everyone apart until the spread stops really is the only way to avoid this :giveup:

Whimsical bitch

if you're worried about the COVID-19 virus, the best thing to do is constantly wash your hands

i carry around a bottle of hand sanitiser because i use public transport a lot and i use it as soon as i get off at any stop and as soon as i finish work whilst keeping in mind to avoid touching my face until i'm washed

keeping your hands clean and avoiding touching your face is key  :sara:

the regular flu is more deadly so try not to go into mass hysteria :huntyga:

As long as it helps to stop the spread of the virus I think its a good idea... they have the olympic games this year and they may be in risk of cancellation

It is but those measures help reduce the risk of getting it from someone who sneezed on their hands and touched a surface without cleaning their hands

you can wear the right mask for extra protection if you live in an infected city but hands are the main concern :enigma:
