Apple, Amazon, Google, and other major tech companies have announced travel restrictions to and from China as fears grow surrounding the spread of the coronavirus.

The virus has already killed more than 100 people and spread to at least 18 countries, prompting many more countries to warn against travel to China.

Businesses with a significant presence in China are now following suit by banning or limiting employees from traveling to the country as precaution, with some leaving exceptions for "business critical" travel.

Here's a list of major tech companies who have restricted employee travel so far.
