It looks like this may get serious,i suppose we will be issued with face masks?

Which although they reduce the risk they are not that effective. Face mask don't stop you getting the disease they stop you spreading it. To stop an airborne virus you need a respirator.

This study focussed on the effectiveness of surgical masks
against a range of airborne particles. Using separate tests
to measure levels of inert particles and live aerosolised
influenza virus, our findings show that surgical masks
provide around a 6-fold reduction in exposure. Live
viruses could be detected in the air behind all surgical
masks tested. By contrast, properly fitted respirators could
provide at least a 100-fold reduction.
