HOUSTON (Reuters) - Coronavirus concerns prompted organizers on Sunday to cancel one of the world's most prestigious gatherings of oil ministers and top executives from the energy and financial industries scheduled for this month in Houston.

The fast-spreading virus has infected around 85,000 and killed almost 3,000 people around the world. About 70 cases have been diagnosed in the United States, which recorded its first fatality from the virus over the weekend.
