NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose in early trading Wednesday as health authorities around the world take steps to monitor and contain a deadly virus that could spread globally.

China and other countries are ramping up screenings for fever on aircraft and at airports. The World Health Organization is expected to meet Wednesday to determine whether the virus is a health emergency. As of Wednesday, some 440 people were confirmed infected with the coronavirus and nine had died from the illness, which can cause pneumonia and other severe respiratory symptoms.
