The 65-year-old action star was born in Hong Kong, where more than 90 coronavirus cases have been confirmed. A list of nearly 5,900 buildings that house people under quarantine was released Thursday, the South China Morning Post reported.

Chan's recent film, "Vanguard," was pulled due to concerns over the potential spread of the coronavirus in movie theaters. Earlier this month, he offered a $197,000 reward for the development of an antidote, the Straight Times in Singapore reported.
