Trump Tests Negative; World Lockdown Takes Hold: Virus Update

Fear of the coronavirus is leading nations, from the U.S. to much of Europe and Latin America, to close up and shield their citizens from the spreading outbreak.

That meant shutting borders, airports, seaports and, in France, its iconic cafes and restaurants. Spain and Libya declared emergencies. Italy had 175 new deaths, pushing its total to 1,441.

U.S. President Donald Trump tested negative for the coronavirus, as he extended travel bans to the U.K. and Ireland. New York City reported its first fatality.
