"We need to make sure that if this goes on into June, that it's a gradual rise and fall," he said."And the way that we need to do that right now is by socially isolating ourselves and hunkering down so that we don't spread the virus."The novel coronavirus has now spread to all European nations as Montenegro confirmed its first cases late Tuesday night.
