Stocks close lower on news of deadly virus spreading to US

Stocks ended lower Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control told Reuters that a traveler from China was diagnosed with the first U.S. case of coronavirus, in Seattle.

The Dow closed down 152 points after falling as much as 200 points. The S&P 500 shed nearly 0.3%, while the Nasdaq dipped 0.2%.

Shares of casino and hotel companies Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands fell more than 6% and 5%, respectively, amid fears that the coronavirus outbreak in China would dent international travel.

Airline stocks hit their lows of the day on the news. United Airlines and Delta Air Lines both declined more than 2.5%. Shares of Southwest and American Airlines were down 2.7% and 4.2%, respectively.
