The health ministers of the Group of Seven countries will on Monday discuss a joint response to the coronavirus epidemic, France's health ministry told AFP.
They will hold talks via a telephone conference at 1400 GMT, it said.
Germany's Health Minister Jens Spahn said Sunday he had talked on the phone with his US counterpart and "we agreed that there should be a conference call, a discussion by G7 health ministers about this question with the aim of dealing with it together".
Spahn added: "There is no point in each country deciding on measures alone".
The G7 comprises rich nations Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
