The White House on Tuesday opted not to suspend flights from China to the United States as it discussed ways to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.

Passengers leave LAX after arriving from Shanghai, China, after a positive case of the coronavirus was announced in the Orange County suburb of Los Angeles, California, US, January 26, 2020.

The administration is holding daily meetings on the coronavirus and has considered a wide range of potential options. Two US officials said the administration had not taken any options off the table, including a temporary ban on flights, if public health data supported the move. Airlines including United Airlines Holdings Inc have said they are canceling some flights to China as demand has fallen sharply, and global companies have told their employees not to travel on deepening fears over the spread of the flu-like virus.
