As new cases of coronavirus are confirmed in several European countries, different measures are being taken to contain and confine its spread. 

In the UK, a new plane will be chartered this coming Sunday to bring citizens home from China. In Germany, airport screening has been enhanced to make sure people with suspected symptoms will be looked at immediately. In Brussels, some EU ministers are suggesting a travel ban on all foreigners who have recently travelled in China. 

CGTN correspondents report on the latest efforts to contain the virus.
