Ukraine's health minister has volunteered to spend two weeks in quarantine as authorities looked to calm panic after protesters attacked buses carrying evacuees from coronavirus-hit China

Yesterday, protesters blocked roads and hurled stones at vehicles carrying 72 people evacuated from China and bound for a medical facility in the town of Novi Sanzhary in the central Poltava region.Riot police with armoured vehicles moved in to disperse the protesters, sparking clashes that injured nine policemen and one civilian.

"Today we agreed on the conditions of my stay and I was sent to the observation zone," Ms Skaletska said on Facebook later in the day. The mayor of Daegu - South Korea's fourth-biggest city, with a population of over 2.5 million - has advised locals to stay indoors, while access to a major US military base in the area has been restricted.

Hubei, the hard-hit central province where the virus emerged late last year, said 271 cases were reported by its prisons, including 220 that had previously not been known to provincial authorities. An elderly woman receiving kidney treatment at Peking University People's Hospital also tested positive after two infected relatives visited her earlier this month, the hospital said.In Japan, a 14-day quarantine period is ending for most passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, but it is far from over for the more than 1,000 crew.
