Facebook Inc. and other global companies including LG Electronics Inc., and HSBC are restricting travel to China, as the death toll from a flu-like virus continues to rise on Jan. 28.

Airlines are also cancelling flights and adjusting schedules as a growing number of countries raise travel warnings to not just Hubei Province where the new coronavirus broke out, but also to the rest of mainland China.
