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.

Comentários
  • A questão exige do candidato o conhecimento de adjetivos; especificamente de comparativos e superlativos. O candidato deve sinalizar a opção que traz uma forma de superlativo que obedece a mesma regra de formação de superlativo de “worst".

    Os adjetivos superlativos são utilizados para descrever um objeto que se encontra no extremo superior ou inferior de uma qualidade. Para formar o superlativo, nós usamos o artigo definido the seguido do adjetivo na forma surperlativa.

    “Worst" é a forma superlativa do adjetivo “bad".

    Sabemos que os adjetivos de até duas sílabas formam o superlativo regular através da adição do sufixo -est ao adjetivo original. Sendo assim, o adjetivo “bad" forma o superlativo de maneira irregular. Logo, estará correta a opção que trouxer um adjetivo que também forme o superlativo de forma irregular.

    Vamos às opções:

    Alternativa A.
    ERRADA. O superlativo de “high" é “highest", obedecendo a formação regular (adição do sufixo -est).

    Alternativa B.
    CORRETA. O superlativo de “good" é “best". Ainda que a terminação -est esteja presente, há modificação considerável do adjetivo original.

    Alternativa C.
    ERRADA. O forma superlativa de “early" é “earliest".

    Alternativa D.
    ERRADA. O superlativo de “elderly" é “most elderly", que é a forma de criação regular de superlativo para adjetivos de três sílabas ou mais.

    Alternativa E.
    ERRADA. O superlativo de “extraordinary" é “most extraordinary", isto é, é regular.

    GABARITO DO PROFESSOR: LETRA B.
  • Alguns adjetivos apresentam formas irregulares em relação a grau. São eles:
