The British government is preparing possible measures to support the health service, businesses and the economy as the outbreak of coronavirus continues to spread, the finance ministry said on Monday.

The United Kingdom has so far had 40 confirmed cases of the virus, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson said earlier that a “very significant expansion of coronavirus” was possible and the country should be prepared for it.

His department said he would provide a further update on economic developments and government action when he presents his first budget to parliament on March 11 and had asked officials to work up “further measures to support the public health response, businesses and the economy as needed”. Johnson will on Tuesday publish the government’s “battle plan” to tackle the spread of coronavirus, holding a news conference at his Downing Street residence alongside England’s Chief Medical Officer the government’s Chief Scientific Adviser.

Other measures include looking at emergency registration for health professionals who have retired, the government said.
