(Reuters) – U.S. oil major Chevron Corp (N:) has asked its employees to postpone all “non-essential” business travel to China in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Thursday.

Chevron employees are also required to receive approval from the company’s senior management for all travel to China that is “deemed business critical”, the health advisory memo said.
