París. La Unión Europea (UE) cerrará todas sus fronteras con el exterior durante 30 días debido al avance del nuevo coronavirus, que ha dejado más de 7.000 muertos en el mundo, y para frenar su propagación, los líderes del G-7 prometieron este lunes dar una “respuesta contundente”.

"Todos los viajes entre países no europeos y la Unión Europea quedarán suspendidos durante 30 días", anunció el presidente francés, Emmanuel Macron.
