BEIJING - At a deserted restaurant in China's capital, one black-and-white sign stands out among the colourful decor and neon signs advertising braised meat dishes:"This store has been disinfected today".

Businesses like the Hao Lu Wei braised meat restaurant, located in an eerily quiet mall in central Beijing, are scrubbing their facilities to reassure wary customers. Many others have just remained shut. Anxious shoppers desperate to protect themselves from infection have stripped stores of hand sanitisers.

Southern Guangdong province, which has 110 million people, ordered residents to wear face masks in public. Wuhan and several neighbouring cities in Hubei province have been almost completely sealed off, with the authorities grounding flights, halting trains and banning car travel for more than 50 million people.
