Newcastle has introduced a training ground handshake ban because of coronavirus, says manager Steve Bruce.
More than 80,000 people have been infected by the virus worldwide, resulting in nearly 2,800 deaths.
Major sporting events, including Six Nations rugby and the Chinese Grand Prix, have been postponed because of the virus, which originated in China but has since spread to more than 50 countries.
Three more cases of the virus were confirmed in the UK on Friday, bringing the total number in the country to 19.
