British Airways has sent an email to all of its staff asking them to take voluntary unpaid leave, after cancelling all flights to and from Italy until 4 April
Other airlines have taken similar measures.
The BBC has not yet seen the email to staff but a number of sources at the airline have confirmed it has been sent.
One source said that different departments were being offered different lengths of unpaid leave, ranging from a month to a year-long career break.
The UK government’s chief medical adviser Prof Chris Whitty has issued a statement on the latest UK coronavirus death.
He said: "I am sorry to confirm a sixth patient in England who tested positive for Covid-19 has sadly died.
"I offer my sincere condolences to their family and friends and ask that their privacy is respected.
"The patient, who was being treated by West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, was in their 80s and had underlying health conditions.
"It appears the virus was acquired in the UK and full contact tracing has begun."
The Department for Health and Social Care usually issues updates on UK figures at 14:00 GMT.
However, today's announcement has been delayed.

Austria has announced a ban on Italians entering the country unless they carry a medical certificate, in an attempt to stop coronavirus spreading.
Speaking after the Italian government imposed travel restrictions across the country, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Austrians returning from Italy would have to self-isolate for two weeks.
Austria has seen 158 cases of coronavirus so far.
Mr Kurz said the number was still very low but the disease was deadly.

The Pope has urged Catholic priests to visit people ill with the coronavirus.
He made the call as he led a prayer at a Mass for visiting clergy at the Vatican, asking priests to have "the courage to go out and visit the sick" and to "accompany the medical staff and volunteers in the work they do".
This appears to contradict official advice from the Italian government, which says people should avoid contact with the sick and try not to travel.
The Vatican has also announced Saint Peter's Square and its basilica have been closed to tourists until 3 April.
A sixth patient has died in the UK after testing positive for coronavirus, NHS England has said.
A statement from West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust said: "Sadly, we can confirm that a man who was being cared for at Watford General Hospital, and had tested positive for Covid-19, has died.
"The patient, who died in the evening of Monday March 9, was in his early 80s and had underlying health conditions.
"His family has been informed and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this difficult and distressing time."

Instead, the university says, students should work remotely, with lectures taking place online.
In a letter to staff and students, Harvard said the decision "was not made lightly".
Meanwhile in Ireland, Trinity College Dublin is closing its lecture halls and other buildings.
In a statement posted on the university's website, it said: "From tomorrow morning (11 March), all lectures will be delivered online for the rest of the semester rather than physically in a lecture hall.
"However, tutorials, seminars and laboratory practicals will all continue to be given in the usual fashion while using social distancing protocols."

Police in Uganda are investigating a father and daughter for allegedly giving people a fake vaccine against the coronavirus.
There is currently no inoculation against the disease, which has killed more than 3,800 people around the world.
There are currently 18 confirmed cases of coronavirus in sub-Saharan Africa but none in Uganda.
Police say they started receiving information on Friday that people in the district of Mayuge, 120 km (74 miles) east of the capital, Kampala, were being given a concoction to supposedly inoculate them against the coronavirus.
They then arrested two people – believed to be behind the scam. Both have since been released on police bond pending further investigation.
Samples of the liquid they allegedly gave victims orally have been taken to the government forensic laboratory in Kampala for testing.
It is not known how many people could have taken the concoction.
A police spokesperson told the BBC they believed the suspects gave the fake vaccine to victims for free with hopes of later charging for it once demand had been created.
