“Current Situation: The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan City, China. To date there have been over 500 cases including 17 deaths, primarily among individuals living in or traveling to the Wuhan area. A limited number of cases have been reported in Thailand, Japan, and South Korea. There has been one case in the United States in an individual who had recently traveled to Wuhan. While transmission dynamics are still being characterized, there is evidence suggesting person-to-person transmission of the virus. Airport screening of travelers arriving from Wuhan was initiated on January 17th. Though the risk of infection with 2019-nCoV is very low for the average Californian at this time, Monterey County Health Department urges all providers to take steps now to be able to identify, isolate, and report individuals potentially ill with 2019-nCoV.” 1/23/2020 Health Advisory, Edward Moreno, MD, MPH, Monterey County Health Office & Director of Public Health
