BANGKOK — Leaders puzzling over how to keep COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus, from spreading are taking new steps around the globe to try to limit the illness' reach — including restricting access to holy sites.Saudi Arabia announced Thursday that is suspending entry for the Umrah pilgrimage — a traditional pilgrimage to Mecca, which Muslims take throughout the year. Officials noted that the travel restrictions were "temporary," but did not provide a timetable for when they could be lifted.Japan said Thursday that it would close all elementary, junior high, and high schools throughout the country in order to limit the potential spread of coronavirus. The decision to keep 12.8 million kids home from school comes as an eighth person has died of the virus.Airports across Latin America have also begun looking for signs of sick passengers. Some countries are warning people to obey containment measures, with Singapore prosecuting a couple it says lied about their movements and South Korea passing newly strengthened punishments for those violating self-isolation rules. The virus keeps spreading to new places around the world, with the number of infected people hovering around 81,000. 1216

Brother and sister Paul and Angelica Gallegos have spent a lot more time together this past school year. That’s because their school district, 27J outside Denver, became the first district in a major metropolitan area to switch to a four-day school week.And at first, it was a scary idea for mom Crystal.“I was a little freaked out,” Gallegos said.She had to convince her employer to let her work from home, since her kids would now be there every Monday. So far, she says the new school schedule hasn’t been that hard to get used to.“I like it, but that’s because I get to spend time with my kids,” she said.Every Monday they’ve come to a local state park where the kids volunteer.“We feed the animals we feed the birds,” said 12 year old Angelica. “On certain days we take kids on trail walks.”But asked if they prefer the new shorter weeks in class?“[I’d] go back to the old way,” says 9-year-old Paul. “I’d rather have school Mondays then stay an extra hour.”To make their weeks shorter, the four classroom days have to be longer. And then there’s homework.“This year, we did almost two hours of homework a night ,” said mom Crystal. “And then she plays softball, so that on top of practice, on top of—it was just a lot for her this year.”The Roberts family just down the block has mixed feelings. Kendra, 12, who uses the extra day to hangout with friends, grins from ear to ear when asked if she likes it.“Yea,” she says smiling.Mom Alecia Roberts sees pros and cons.“We have more family time on the weekends because then we can focus on other things during Mondays,” Roberts said. “But I still work on Mondays.”District superintendent Chris Fiedler says the biggest reason for the change was to attract more qualified teacher applicants. And so far, he says, its worked.“[For] elementary teaching positions a good pool [of applicants] would have been 40-50, and we were seeing pools of over 100,” Fiedler said.He says they’re also more experienced applicants. The district will soon head into their second year of a three-year trial, but it could be here to stay.“It’s really been a useful tool,” Fiedler said.The district has offered daycare for every Monday. 2183

BROOKFIELD, Ill. – A Chicago-area zoo is mourning the death of a 14-year-old lioness that died less than two weeks after her mate was euthanized due to age-related issues. The Chicago Zoological Society says the female African lion, named Isis, was found lying on the floor of a moat in her Brookfield Zoo habitat on Monday. Officials say it appears that Isis somehow fell. Despite immediate and intensive treatment provided by veterinary staff, the lioness suffered significant injuries and the difficult decision was made to euthanize her on Tuesday.“The safety and well-being of the animals in our care is our utmost priority,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of animal programs. “Although it is unclear what caused her fall, we are reviewing all aspects of this tragic occurrence.”Both Isis and her mate, Zenda, arrived at the zoo in May 2008. They often were seen grooming each other and sleeping together, officials say. “Isis and her mate were majestic animals who had a strong bond. The staff, who dedicated their lives to care for these charismatic lions, are heartbroken by their loss,” added Zeigler. 1132
