News Wrap: China closes off city of Wuhan to try to contain coronavirus outbreak

In our news wrap Thursday, China closed off Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, in an unprecedented effort to contain a deadly coronavirus. Officials announced two other cities will be shuttered Friday, as infected patients are hospitalized in isolation wards. Also, the International Court of Justice unanimously ordered the government of Myanmar to protect Rohingya Muslims from acts of genocide.
