McLaren have placed a ban on people who have travelled from China entering their motorhome at the first Formula One pre-season test.
The British team's move in Barcelona follows publication of the company's strict response to coronavirus, which has claimed more than 2,000 lives.
The group-wide policy applies to those who have travelled to and from China in the past fortnight and is also in force at McLaren's Woking headquarters.
A Chinese journalist, who is a regular fixture on the travelling F1 circus, was informed on Wednesday that he would not be permitted access to the team's hospitality suite for this week's first three-day test.
McLaren have also moved to re-route their employees due to travel to Melbourne via Hong Kong for next month's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
The team's travel routes for April's Vietnamese Grand Prix have also been changed.
