Several Chinese schools in Metro Manila suspended their classes on Monday, January 27 as a precaution against the 2019 novel Coronavirus (nCoV).

The virus, believed to have originated late last year in a seafood market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, has spread globally.

The schools that suspended classes on Monday include:

• Hope Christian High School
• Pace Academy
• Saint Jude Catholic School
• Stephen’s High School
• Uno High School
• Chiang Kai Shek College (Padre Algue and Narra campuses)
• Philippine Academy of Sakya

More than 2,000 people globally have been in­fected with a new coronavirus, the vast majority of them in China, where 81 people have died from the disease, according to figures released on Sunday. (With a report from Agence France-Presse)
