New York City agencies are on “high vigilance” for the COVID-19 coronavirus and ready to deal with its potential spread, officials said on Wednesday.

“No one should take this lightly,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “If you have symptoms that seem like a flu and there’s any possibility of a nexus to travel to those counties or anyone who’s been to those countries that’s close to you in your life, get to a doctor immediately,” he added, according to Fox New York.
