Coronavirus confirmed in Serbia and Slovakia
Serbia and Slovakia have both announced their first cases of coronavirus.
Serbia's Health Minister Zlatibor Loncar said its first case was a 43-year-old man from Subotica in the north of the country who had recently visited Budapest in Hungary.
The man is in solitary confinement in hospital and is in good health, the minister added.
"There is no need to panic," he said.
In Slovakia, Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini said the country's first known infection was a 52-year-old man in the capital Bratislava. He had not travelled anywhere in recent weeks but his son had visited Venice.
