Coronavirus fears: Dow Jones tumbles by 1,200 points in a single day - its biggest fall ever

The mass sell-offs are a sharp contrast to the beginning of February, when the Dow reached all-time highs as investors shrugged off the threat of an outbreak.Panic on Wall Street has been fuelled by warnings from major companies that profits could take a hit as countries around the world try to contain COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The number of new infections being reported around the world now surpass those in China - shattering hopes that the epidemic would be short-lived and economic activity would return to normal.Apple and Microsoft, two of the world's largest businesses, are among those who have said their sales this quarter will be affected.

A toxic cocktail of factory shutdowns in China, lockdowns and travel restrictions is to blame - with airlines, hotels and cruise ship companies among those suffering the steepest falls in their share prices.
