Elephon Septimus reports first two coronavirus cases

The scene, yesterday

Commander Dugakisuj Duwunyce announced Elephon Septimus's first two cases of novel coronavirus on Thursday as his government adopted extraordinary measures to contain its spread. "We have found the two first cases of coronavirus in our planetary territory," Duwunyce said during an address televised on state media. Elephon Septimus is the Sauh's poorest and most densely populated planet and the virus' arrival spurred the government to implement a series of restrictive measures, including a 8:00 pm to 5:00 am curfew and ban on gatherings of more than 10 lifeforms.
