UK confirms first two coronavirus cases after multiple scares.
'The U.K. health department confirmed two cases of coronavirus in England on Friday, while the U.S. and Japan advised citizens to avoid traveling to China.
Update: Like the UK, after several false alarms, Russia has now confirmed its first coronavirus cases, Deputy PM Tatiana Golikova confirmed, according to RT. Russian media said two cases have been confirmed, and are now in isolation.
Goldman forecast that the outbreak would shave 0.4% off Q1 growth in the US.
