    Coronavirus: Venice Carnival closes as Italy imposes lockdown
    23 February 2020

    Italian officials have cut short the Venice Carnival as they try to control what is now the worst
    outbreak of the coronavirus in Europe.

    Authorities in the Veneto region said the event would end later on Sunday, two days earlier
    than scheduled. Italy has by far the highest number of coronavirus cases in Europe, with 152.
    Three people have died.Italy has imposed strict quarantine restrictions in two northern "hotspot"
    regions close to Milan and Venice.

    About 50,000 people cannot enter or leave several towns in Veneto and Lombardy for the
    next two weeks without special permission. Even outside the zone, many businesses and
    schools have suspended activities. and sporting events have been cancelled. The BBC's Mark
    Lowen described the situation just outside the zone. ln neighbouring Austria, a train from Venice
    was stopped at the Austrian border after it emerged that two passengers had fever symptoms.
    Austria's Interior Minister Karl Nehammer later confirmed to the BBC that the pair tested
    negative for coronavirus.

    ºAll authorities have acted quickly and with great caution in this case," said Mr Nehammer
    in a statement. "The reporting chain worked without delay." Elsewhere, authorities in South Korea
    and Iran are battling to control rising numbers of infections. South Korea has raised its
    coronavirus alert to the "highest level".

    The new strain of coronavirus, which originated last year in Hubei province in China, causes
    a respiratory disease called Covid-19. China has seen more than 76,000 infections and 2,442
    deaths.

    What is happening in Italy?

    Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on Saturday that "extraordinary measures"


    would come into force to try to stem the rising number of coronavirus cases.

    He said the quarantine restrictions could last for weeks. Police, and if necessary the armed
    forces, will have the authority to ensure the regulations are enforced.

    Angelo Borrelli, the head of Italy's Civil Protection Department, told reporters that 11 O of the
    confirmed cases were in Lombardy, with 21 in Veneto with others in EmiliaRomagna and Lazio.
    Officials reported a third death on Sunday, an elderly woman from the town of Crema suffering
    from cancer. Italian officials say they are still trying to trace the source of the outbreak.

    Universities in Milan have been closed and the city's mayor, Giuseppe Sala, said schools
    would also close their doors while the outbreak continued. "As a precaution I think that the
    schools have to be closed in Milan. I will propose to the president of the region to enlarge the
    precaution to the entire metropolitan city area. lt is just a precautton, we don't want to create
    parue," he said.

    Meanwhile Giorgio Armanì's fashion show, scheduled to be held (I) Milan (li) Sunday, went
    ahead but without any media or buyers present. The show was livestreamed (lii) its website,
    lnstagram and Facebook pages.

    TEXTO PARA A QUESTÃO 04


    Social media ’destroying how society works'

    A former Facebook executive has said social media is doing great harm to society around
    the world. The executive is a man called Chamath Palihapitiya. He ___________ Facebook
    in 2007 a n d ___________a vice president. He was responsible for increasing the number of
    users Facebook had. Mr Palihapitiya said he feels very guilty about getting more people to use
    social networks. He said the networks are destroying society because they are changing
    people's behavior. Twenty years ago, people talked to each other face to face. Today, people
    message each other and do not talk. People also really care about what other people think of
    them. They post photos and wait to see how many people like the photo. They get very sad if
    people do not like the photo.
    Mr. Palihapitiya said people should take a long break from social media so they can
    experience real life. He wants people to value each other instead of valuing online "hearts, likes,
    and thumbs-up". Palihapitiya also points out how fake news is affecting how we see the world,
    it is becoming easier for large websites to spread lies. It is also becoming easier to hurt other
    people online. Anyone can hide behind a fake user name and post lies about other people.
    Palihapitiya said this was a global problem. He is worried about social media so much that he
    has banned his children from using it. However, he did state that Facebook was a good
    company. He said: "Of course, it's not all bad. Facebook overwhelmingly does good in the world."
