"The question is what they will do? Monetary policy is already very loose and interest rates are very low," he said. The coronavirus, which emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, has spread rapidly around the world over the past week, with more new cases now appearing outside China than within.

All travellers entering Beijing from the hot spots of South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy would have to be quarantined for 14 days, a top city official said. Shanghai has introduced a similar quarantine order.
