LONDON - The British government will unveil an action plan on Tuesday to tackle a spread of coronavirus with possible measures to support the health service, businesses and the economy.

The plan will include the option of encouraging more home working and discouraging unnecessary travel as part of what it called a"social distancing" strategy to delay the peak of the outbreak until later in the year when the weather is warmer and the health service is under less seasonal pressure. The government is due to launch a major public information campaign later this week, run from a"war room" in the Cabinet Office, setting out steps people can take to limit the spread of the virus, such as washing their hands regularly.

"Right now, we do not recommend the cancelling of mass events and schools as well should not be closing unless there is a positive case and the schools have the advice to close,"Hancock told BBC TV.
