Starbucks quickly followed suit—it has now closed more than half of its 4,100 stores in mainland China. Big retailers have also shut down stores with H&M closing 45 locations and suspending business travel to and from China for its employees, according to Reuters. Tech giants like Facebook and Microsoft, for example, recently asked all of its employees to suspend non-essential travel to mainland China. Big banks, like Standard Chartered and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, also said employee trips to China should be avoided. General Motors and Ford, while restricting business trips to Wuhan, have yet to suspend travel to other parts of China.
