Coronavirus: Your questions answered
As the worldwide outbreak continues we'll be answering your questions about the virus.
Germany has become the latest country to close borders as European nations try to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Its borders with France, Austria and Switzerland were shut on Monday morning, except for commercial traffic. We'll be answering questions sent in by people around the world about the virus.
And a big part of the conversation around coronavirus has been how it affects people with pre-existing health conditions. One of the widely shared posts on Twitter has been retweeted more than 30,000 times. We’ll speak to some people who have pre-existing conditions to hear what they are doing during the outbreak.
Also, many places are closing pubs, restaurants and bars in response to the virus. The Irish government has called on all pubs and bars including those in hotels to close, and New York has also closed its bars and restaurants except for delivery and pickup services. We'll speak to some people who own these establishments to hear how they are coping.
