IRELAND

A secondary school in Dublin has been closed for 14 days due to concerns over coronavirus.

A male student has the virus and is being treated in a Dublin hospital with infection-control measures.

The National Public Health Emergency Team said that a risk assessment determined that “all pupils and teachers are being treated as close contacts of the confirmed case”.

A woman from Northern Ireland was diagnosed with the virus on Thursday.

Two days later the first case of the coronavirus was confirmed in the Republic of Ireland.

Both had travelled home from an affected area in Italy.

Per HLN - American Airlines waiving fees to passengers who cancel flights to Italy and other CV places. American was the first to cancel flights to Italy. Waiting to see if United, etc. also will waive fees.

Walmart and CVS limiting purchases of hand sanitizers in store and online.
