Major Australian businesses have ordered staff who have recently visited China to stay at home for 14 days to avoid any potential spread of the deadly coronavirus to colleagues

Major consulting firm UBS has requested staff who have recently visited China not to return to their Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney workplaces for two weeks, and has temporarily shut the Hong Kong office.

EY area managing partner for Asia Pacific Pat Winter said staff who had travelled to the city of Wuhan in January were being asked to quarantine themselves for 14 days and monitor their health. PricewaterhouseCoopers had asked all staff to avoid travel to the Hubei province until February 3, managing partner of people and culture Helen Fazzino said.

Commonwealth Bank told staff they would need a medical certificate if they had travelled in the Hubei province within the past fortnight and had symptoms or had been in contact with someone with coronavirus.
