US Coronavirus: Number of cases reach 1,000 as officials continue to call off large gatherings

CNN  

CNN — As the number of novel coronavirus cases in the United Statesreached 1,000 on Tuesday, officials further clamped down on large public gatherings and increasingly called for students to take classes online. Among the effects of the spreading virus: California’s Santa Clara County said it would temporarily ban gatherings of more than 1,000 people – after the county reported dozens of cases – representing one of the widest such orders in the country. “I would encourage any individual who is elderly or is medically fragile to think long and hard about going into any large gathering that would involve close quarters and potential spread,” Azar told CNN’s “New Day.” Meanwhile, in Northern California, a cruise ship that had been held off the coast for days after at least 21 people aboard tested positive for coronavirus is expected to continue disembarking passengers. California’s Coachella music festival will be postponed, sources said; Pearl Jam postponed concerts in North America; Boston canceled its St. Patrick’s Day Parade; US airlines are slashing flights; and the United Nations said it would close its New York headquarters to the public starting Tuesday night.
