Virus 'actively' spreading in US
More on the six deaths in the US state of Washington.
Kathy Lofy, Washington state's health officer, said cases were confined to two counties - King and Snohomish - but that it was possible it was spreading elsewhere.
She said the virus was "actively" spreading in those two counties.
Germany's Finance Minister Olaf Scholz has tweeted to say that coronavirus was high on the agenda at a meeting today with his French counterpart Bruno Le Maire.
"We discussed the full range of our European issues and of course the effects of the coronavirus on our countries.
"We are monitoring the situation very closely and will take decisive action if necessary."
For those worried about their travel plans - after British Airways and Ryaniar announced further cancellations today - travel expert Simon Calder says customers should have no problem getting refunds on their flights.
The majority of those who have booked to travel but have changed their minds, however, will find it difficult to get their money back through insurance, he says.
He adds that travel risks in many parts of the world remain "tolerably low".

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he's prepared to take action if part-time workers and people on insecure contracts suffer financially if they have to self-isolate.
Trade unions have warned that gig economy workers may not receive statutory sick pay, raising concerns that people with coronavirus would carry on working in order to pay the bills.
"We are working across government to prepare for all eventualities and are ready to take further action if needed," the prime minister's spokesperson said, adding that ministers were "very alive" to the potential problem.
