Banks in the City of London have stepped up their efforts to guard against the deadly coronavirus in China, as governments and institutions take more drastic measures to prevent its spread.
Standard Chartered, one of the first financial institutions to restrict travel to Wuhan, the city where the virus originated, has extended this ban to all of mainland China and Hong Kong. Travel to Wuhan has been banned, while staff returning from China are being asked to work from home for 14 days.
