Asian markets ended lower on Monday amid lingering worries over the potential impact of a new coronavirus that has killed at least 80 people in China. Trading volumes were thin as several markets including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan were closed for public holidays. Japanese shares ended down as the coronavirus infection has spread to France, Nepal, Australia, and Malaysia, with investors nervously watching reports about the increasing number of patients. Investors also shifted their focus to corporate earnings results that will be out this week.
