The American man who returned from a trip to Wuhan, China with symptoms of the deadly coronavirus is being treated by a robot doctor in a specialist pathogens unit.

The man in his thirties was admitted to the unit in a hospital in Everett, Washington State, on Monday.

He began to feel unwell a few days after landing and, having read upon the symptoms of coronavirus online, drove himself to hospital at the weekend.

Rather than risking exposure to the mysterious virus, doctors are keeping the patient in a sealed room and treating him with a robot that is equipped with a video camera, a microphone and a stethoscope.

Airport workers: We need better protection from coronavirus at Newark, JFK and La Guardia

When Yvette Stephens arrives at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday morning to begin her shift as a security guard, she'll be carrying a dozen or so respiratory masks to share with her co-workers who are concerned that a passenger with coronavirus could be arriving at their terminal.
