Virus forces closure of Japanese schools

Japan will close schools nationwide in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has asked for all schools to remain shut until school holidays begin in March saying it is to prioritise the health and safety of children and to avoid the risk of possible large scale infections. The closure will affect more than 12 million students. Image: AP
