(13 Mar 2020) Kosovo reported the first two cases of the new coronavirus in the Western Balkan country.
Health Minister Arben Vitia said a 20-year-old Italian and a 77-year-old Albanian were found to have the virus.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti called on people to remain calm.
The Kosovan government has imposed strict measures like stopping mass gatherings, closing schools, restaurants, bars and gyms and stopping land and air travel to the virus "red zones."
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.
