The Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are advising travelers to China to use caution following the outbreak of the coronavirus that prompted Chinese officials to lock down Wuhan, where the virus originated, and several other cities this week.
In a travel advisory posted on Jan. 23, anyone who traveled to Wuhan in recent days and feels sick should seek medical care immediately. It also called on people to call ahead to the doctor’s office or emergency room to tell them about their symptoms and where they had traveled.
