China's main stock exchange will remain closed to February 3 as the Chinese government extended a public holiday in a bid to halt the spread of the coronavirus.
Topline
At least 2,744 people have been infected by the coronavirus, mostly in China, but with cases reported in more than 10 countries including across parts of Asia, the U.S. and France. China’s government also banned tour groups from leaving China in a move to limit travel, and the spread of coronavirus, during what is the peak season for travel within China and internationally.
Major Lunar New Year events were cancelled in Beijing and Shanghai, dampening a holiday period that traditionally sees millions of people travel across the country to spend time with families.
