A fifth case of the deadly coronavirus has been confirmed in Australia.
The death toll overseas has risen to 80 and more than 2000 people have been infected.
The virus presents similarly to the common cold when in its early stages. Fever, sore throat, coughing and shortness of breath are symptoms.
All travel out of the Hubei province, the epicentre of the outbreak, has been halted.
But the number of cases in Australia could surge, with 43 flights arriving from China into Australia in the last 24 hours.
