A cruise ship carrying around 3,700 people has been quarantined off the coast of Japan after ten passengers tested positive for coronavirus.
Those on the Diamond Princess have been told they won't be allowed to leave their cabins for two weeks, with food being delivered to them.
It's understood that most of the passengers are Japanese but, there are also Britons, Americans, Canadians, and other nationalities.
Chinese authorities say 490 people have now died from the virus - while almost 25-thousand cases have been reported there.
The Irish Government is advising citizens whose presence in China is "not essential" to leave the country.
The Department of Foreign Affairs also advises against any non-essential travel to China.
