On April 2, local time, because a senator was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, the Senate of Paraguay will temporarily adjourn and all members of the office will be suspended.

Paraguayan Senator Blas Jarno said the Senate will be closed at least until April 12 in accordance with the latest epidemic prevention regulations for the National Defense Control of New Crown Pneumonia. He did not disclose specific information about the affected MPs. The day before, the Senate of Paraguay had just held a plenary session and voted to postpone the local municipal elections scheduled for November this year. As of now, it is unclear whether other senators need to conduct segregated observations.

On the 2nd day, Paraguay added 15 newly confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, a total of 92 confirmed cases, including 3 deaths. (Reporter Sun Yu of the main station)
