    Ferrari has shut down production at its Formula 1 and road-car factories in Italy for two weeks as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

    It is part of a wider lockdown that began last week across badly-hit Italy.

    Ferrari said the decision had been made "for its employees' wellbeing".

    Chief executive officer Louis Camilleri said: "It is out of our respect for them, their peace of mind and of their families that we have decided on this course of action."

    Staff who have laptops and the possibility to continue to work from home will do so, with Ferrari planning on being shut down until 27 March.

    Italy is the worst affected country in Europe, with over 1,440 deaths so far.

    The Arsenal boss' coronavirus symptoms are "nothing major" says Bernal in a social media post.

    "My husband is feeling fine, he is well," she said after it was revealed Arteta had contracted the virus.

    "It's true that he had symptoms of the virus but the symptoms would have never stopped him from going to work in a normal situation.

    "He would have just taken an ibuprofen or paracetamol and he would have gone to work so really, it's nothing major.

    "Some temperatures, some headaches but that's it. That's his experience. My kids and I are perfectly well."
