Mark Phillips is in good oh, neo southeast of Milan.

Mark, what's the response there?

Good morning.

Well, this is the limit of the area of northern Italy affected by the Corona virus.

Outbreak in the numbers have continued to rise.

The Italian Health Ministry says that overnight there have been more than 50 new cases, bringing the total to close to 300.

Police have cordoned off areas near Milan and Venice, where about 50,000 people live.

But the question is whether all the cases of the virus reported in Italy congee traced to this region.

In Venice, where this is normally carnival time, the party's over canceled days early, the mask have changed and people are getting out of town as everywhere the deaths associated with the virus have affected the most vulnerable.

Luigi D'Angelo is coordinating Italy's emergency response.

The doctors told us Creeley that the people have bean have died because they were infected by by other problems affect They were already sick.

Yeah, they were already sick, and the Corona virus have amply example ified.

They they're sick.

But the sickness.

The World Health Organization has impressed the panic button and has refrained from calling this a pandemic.

This is not a nun contained global spread.

They say These is it still possible to be contained.

But if some fail, if some do not do everything that is needed, this can still become out of control with dramatic consequences in global House and the global economy.

And stock markets around the world were nervous after the big falls in New York yesterday, more proof, if any, was needed.

Tony of the connection between public health and economic health Mark Phillips Force in Italy Mark, thank you very much.
