I'm surprised that the schools are closed with only two cases of Corona virus.

Yes it is surprising enough, on the other hand the government is saying that they are taking all necessary measures to control the spread of the virus.

@MALUSE I sure they are trying to take precautions before it can get out of hands.

You cannot take it easy there. Your government should at once impose measures to contain the virus in those 2 patients.

There's some assurance by the government that they are taking all necessary measures to control the spread of the virus.
