• F1 race on 19 April in Shanghai at risk, says virus expert
The Chinese Grand Prix has joined the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Nanjing as being under threat unless the coronavirus is urgently brought under control.
With the virus still spreading, World Athletics will make an announcement in the next 24 hours about whether the event, due to take place between 13-15 March, will go ahead. But as things stand, the chance of it happening in China appear non-existent, and the Great Britain team is expected to pull out regardless after the Foreign Office warned against all but essential travel to China.
