Update on FO statement - https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-51921683 @ 12:41

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says no UK citizen should travel non-essentially anywhere in the world.
Giving a statement to Parliament on the coronavirus outbreak, he says the outbreak is "the worst public health crisis for a generation and unsettling for families... so there needs to be a united effort to tackle it effectively".
Mr Raab says UK citizens are now facing "widespread international border restrictions and lock downs", and the speed and range of those measures are "unprecedented".
He says these measures, and the moves taken domestically, has led to the advice "with immediate effect against non-essential travel globally for an initial period of 30 days and subject to ongoing review".
Mr Raab adds: "We want to reduce the risk of leaving UK citizens stranded overseas.
"We will keep this under review and amend as soon as responsibility allows."
