Japan and the United States

According to the World Health Organization, there are currently four known overseas infected people, all of whom are borrowed from China. These included two women travelling to Thailand, a woman travelling to South Korea, and a man living in Japan but earlier traveling to and from China. 4 people have traveled to Wuhan.

In order to spread the immune situation, countries are taking precautions. Narita, Kansai, and Chubu airports in Japan have stepped up their epidemic prevention inspections of flights arriving from Wuhan or other parts of China, using body temperature tests and calling on people with fever symptoms to declare themselves.

Kennedy Airport in the United States, Los Angeles Airport and San Francisco Airport, and three airports with direct flights from Wuhan have also adopted epidemic prevention measures to arrange for all arriving passengers in Wuhan to undergo special temperature inspections.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also issued guidelines reminding citizens traveling to Wuhan or working on business to pay attention to hygiene to avoid infection and what to do if they become infected.

Korea and India

Health authorities in some countries have also issued guidelines requiring medical institutions to be vigilant. For example, in South Korea, where the first case was confirmed on the 20th, the disease management department raised the alert level of new coronavirus pneumonia from "care" to "attention". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea also stated that it would contact Korean citizens abroad to pay attention to health and safety through its consulates abroad.

In addition, an Indian female teacher was sick in China to stay in the hospital, and the Indian government issued a notice to 500 students studying in Wuhan, demanding attention to hygiene to avoid infection. As some students may have returned to India during the Spring Festival holiday, Indian authorities are conducting vigilance.

Since Wuhan pneumonia has shown signs of accelerating, the epidemic prevention awareness of mainland Chinese tourists has also increased. The picture shows a passenger walking outside Beijing Railway Station on January 20. (AP)
