Coronavirus Disease 2019
On Jan. 11, 2020, CDC updated a Level 1 Travel Health Notice[1] (“practice usual precautions”) for travelers to Wuhan City and an updated Health Alert[2] to health care professionals and public health partners with new and updated guidance is forthcoming.
China health officials report that most of the patients infected with 2019-nCoV have had exposure to a large market where live animals were present, suggesting this is a novel virus that has jumped the species barrier to infect people. Chinese authorities additionally report that several hundred health care workers caring for outbreak patients are being monitored and no spread of this virus from patients to health care workers has been seen. They report no sustained spread of this virus in the community, however there are indications that some limited person-to-person spread may have occurred. CDC is responding to this outbreak out of an abundance of caution, ready to detect people infected with 2019-CoV.
For the latest information on the outbreak, visit CDC’s Novel Coronavirus 2019[3] website.
