CCD has issued a Level 3 Travel Notice. Please see https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/summary.html
CDC is closely monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (named “2019-nCoV”) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which continues to expand. Chinese health officials have reported thousands of infections with 2019-nCoV in China, with the virus reportedly spreading from person-to-person in many parts of that country. Infections with 2019-nCoV, most of them associated with travel from Wuhan, also are being reported in a growing number of international locations, including the United States.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS and SARS.

疾病管制與預防中心正在密切監控由新型冠狀病毒（名為"2019-nCoV”）引起的呼吸道疾病的爆發，該病毒於中國湖北省武漢市被首次檢測出，並且還在不斷蔓延。中國衛生官員報告指出，中國境內有數千例經人傳人途徑傳播感染2019-nCoV的案例。包括美國在內越來越多的國際地區也被爆出感染2019-nCoV案例，其中大多數都與武漢旅行有關。
冠狀病毒為病毒的一大科別，在許多不同種類的動物（包括駱駝，牛，貓和蝙蝠）中都很常見。動物冠狀病毒很少會感染人然後在人與人之間傳播，例如MERS和SARS。
