As cases of coronavirus in Italy reach 400, residents have started to stay indoors over fears they will catch the illness.

Stark pictures from Milan, where tourists and locals usually mix in their thousands, instead show streets that are deserted.

Flights to the area are already affected by the outbreak, with British Airways cancelling dozens of trips to the fashion and financial hub in the north of Italy.

Italy has sought to rally international support for its coronavirus containment efforts as the UN's health agency urged an increased response.

1. I have friends (Americans) who have lived in Milano

for years. Today they used the words, "ghost town". All the theatres, including La Scala (!) are closed. Grocery stores are almost bare of food and products.
