China enforces vast quarantine to contain virus, case emerges in Nepal

Nepal confirms one case and Europe two in France as virus spreads quickly across countries.

A massive quarantine effort covering 13 cities was in effect in China on Saturday aimed at containing a deadly virus, as the death toll climbed to 41 and the first cases of the disease were reported in Europe and South Asia.

China on Friday imposed transport bans in an area covering a staggering 41 million people, as the United States confirmed its second case of the SARS-like virus that has reached almost a dozen countries.

The virus has also spread to densely populated South Asia, where Nepal confirmed one case, and Europe, where two cases were reported in France.
