Apple has announced the closure of all its stores and corporate offices in China due to concerns about the spread of the virus.
In a statement, the tech giant said the closure - "based on the latest advice from leading health experts" - will be in place until February 9.
Apple's joining a handful of retailers, including Starbucks and McDonald's, to temporarily shut stores as a precaution.
Meanwhile, many other businesses have asked employees in China to work from home and cease non-essential business travel in the first week of February.
