been identified in China, as well as cases imported into other countries, including in
the European Region.

Countries in the European Region are encouraged to continue preparing in case this
new virus is imported, in line with the International Health Regulations (2005). WHO
has published guidance for all countries, including how to monitor for sick people,
test samples, treat patients, control infection in health centres, maintain the right
supplies and communicate with the public. Based on currently available information,
WHO does not recommend any restriction of travel or trade. Standard
